Quantum Corp., the data protection and Big Data management company, has announced that Teradata, the analytic data solutions company, has selected Quantum’s Scalar tape libraries and Scalar Key Manager encryption software as standard elements in its enterprise data protection solution offerings for customers.

Embedded with intelligent iLayer management software, Quantum’s family of Scalar tape libraries is designed for a wide range of demanding data protection and archive environments. These libraries are built to deliver cost-effective, long-term data retention, simplified management and high availability for customers of all sizes, from small offices to multi-national enterprises. Additionally, with Scalar Key Manager, Quantum’s tape automation products provide reliable encryption that can be centrally managed and scaled to fit growing data security needs.

“We carefully examined other offerings available on the market, and Quantum and its
Scalar tape automation line stood out as the ideal solution to support the archive and disaster recovery demands of our data warehousing customers. These customers have ever-increasing data usage and retention needs in the petabyte range, and tape storage serves an important role in their architectures,” said Scott Gnau, President, Teradata Labs.

“As we’ve extended our leadership in protecting data across evolving architectures with new disk-based deduplication, virtualisation and cloud offerings, we’ve also continued to enhance our tape automation portfolio. Today’s announcement reinforces the unmatched value our Scalar libraries provide in terms of features and cost efficiencies and the new use cases we’re addressing. Teradata is an exceptional new partner, and we look forward to working together to extend these benefits to more customers around the world,” said Robert Clark, Senior Vice President, Data Protection Group, Quantum.
