Bangalore, October 26th , 2006  Quantum Corp. (NYSE:DSS), the leading globalspecialist in backup, recovery and archive, today introduced the latest version ofits StorNext FX data management software, which allows broader data sharing andworkflow consolidation in Apple Xsan environments to include applications runningon other operating systems such as Linux, Windows , and UNIX. With todayÂ'sintroduction of StorNext FX version 1.4, Quantum has added client support for SGIIRIX 6.5.29 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server 4.0, Update 3.
 A key benefit of StorNext FX is its ability to enhance collaboration and streamlineworkflow by allowing Xsan environments to support applications that require non-Macoperating systems, resulting in more efficient customer project management, saidPaul Zuhorski, director, software products for Quantum.  By reducing storagecomplexity and consolidating disk resources, customers who use StorNext FX find costsavings as well.Â
Customers use StorNext FX to streamline production by eliminating time-consumingnetwork file transfers and offering concurrent access to data between Apple Xsan andall major Linux, Windows and UNIX platforms. Customers also benefit from reducedstorage complexity and associated costs by eliminating the need to manage separatestorage volumes on individual hosts and enabling standardization of cross-companybusiness processes. Ideal for data-intensive industries, StorNext FX is a criticalcomponent of company-wide Xsan installations because it allows non-Apple systems andapplications to rapidly share data within an Apple environment.
