Bangalore – April 8, 2015 – Quantum Corp. (NYSE: QTM) today announced an enhanced
program to enable technology partners to deliver proven, differentiated workflow
solutions for their customers. The Quantum Advantage Program(tm) is a platform for
partners to test and qualify their technology with Quantum offerings, ensuring that
they provide integrated, best-in-class solutions for the most demanding customer
environments. Technology partners seeking to expand their offerings in key strategic
markets such as broadcast and postproduction, video surveillance, cybersecurity,
data protection and archive can fast-track time to market for their joint solutions
with technical and marketing support from Quantum. In addition, the program allows
technology partners to align more closely with Quantum’s network of 12,000 resellers
worldwide.
Key Advantages for Partners
By providing early access to Quantum technology, the Quantum Advantage Program
enables partners to integrate key features and optimize performance ahead of new
product releases, thereby ensuring the fastest time to market. They can leverage a
wide range of best-in-class Quantum products and technologies, including
high-performance workflow storage, object storage, intelligent tiering software and
backup and disaster recovery solutions for physical, virtual and cloud environments.
As just one example, many media asset management and editing partners already
integrate tightly with Quantum’s StorNext(r) scale-out storage, one of the most
widely supported platforms for applications in media and entertainment and other
high-performance environments. To ensure that these and other partners have the
in-depth knowledge needed to develop and deliver truly innovative and differentiated
solutions, Quantum also provides world-class training through the Advantage Program.
Multilevel Program Offers Choice of Engagement
The Quantum Advantage Program has three membership levels:

* Advantage Partner: Partners are recognized within the Quantum ecosystem
for offering approved, validated solutions.

* Advantage Preferred Partner: Engineering and business support includes
dedicated Quantum resources plus a broader level of awareness and training for
technology partners’ solutions among the Quantum team and channel partners.

* Advantage Premier Partner: The highest level of engineering and sales
support available from Quantum includes dedicated technical and marketing resources,
unique sales incentive programs, and equipment at no cost to aid in current and
future product development.
