“The Technology & Engineering Emmy Award was the first Emmy Award issued in 1949 and it laid the groundwork for all the other Emmys to come,” said Adam Sharp, CEO & President, NATAS. “We look forward to honoring Quantum for the company’s contribution to HSM system development at NAB Show, where the intersection of innovation, technology and excitement in the future of television can be found.”

The Impact of HSM on the Broadcast Industry

HSM technologies fundamentally changed the way content is stored in the media and entertainment world and paved the path to today’s modern workflows.  The introduction of HSM into media customer sites started in 1996, fundamentally changing distribution workflows and creating an early platform for shared content. Today, shared storage is a requirement for collaboration and workflow enablement.  With newer technologies such as NVMe, the same tiering fundamentals first used to tier to tape are now used to handle a modern migration of NVMe to lower-cost storage.
