Telestream and Quantum announced on January 21 2026 that Telestream’s DIVA content‑management platform has been certified with Quantum’s ActiveScale and ActiveScale Cold Storage, extending a long‑standing partnership that previously included certification of Quantum StorNext and interoperability with Telestream’s Vantage platform.
The certification allows media and entertainment organizations to combine DIVA’s policy‑driven archive workflows with Quantum’s on‑premises object‑storage platform, creating durable, low‑power, and low‑cost archives that scale to petabyte volumes. The integration gives customers a single S3‑compatible namespace that spans active and cold tiers, enabling efficient tiering and rapid retrieval of long‑term assets.
Quantum’s ActiveScale Cold Storage uses patented two‑dimensional erasure coding to deliver 99.999999999% durability while keeping storage costs below those of traditional tape or disk arrays. By pairing this technology with DIVA’s automated retention and metadata management, customers can enforce compliance policies and reduce manual curation effort across distributed sites.
For Quantum, the partnership expands its foothold in the high‑growth media‑storage market and opens a new revenue channel from Telestream’s customer base, which includes large broadcasters and post‑production houses. For Telestream, the certification enhances DIVA’s value proposition by adding a scalable, on‑premises object‑storage option that complements its existing cloud‑native workflows.
"Object storage is becoming the foundation for every modern media workflow because it delivers the scalability, efficiency, and long‑term reliability that today’s archives demand," said Mike Hardy, Vice President of Alliances at Quantum. "ActiveScale, with its integrated Cold Storage tier in a single S3 namespace, gives customers a uniquely powerful and sustainable way to preserve growing content libraries." Mark Wronski, Vice President of Telestream, added, "DIVA is the platform our customers rely on to manage complex content lifecycles, enforce retention policies, and keep large archives organized and accessible over decades. By certifying DIVA with Quantum ActiveScale and its integrated Cold Storage tier, we’re giving customers even more powerful choices in how they store and protect their assets."
Quantum reported a Q2 2026 earnings miss, with an EPS of –$0.54 versus analysts’ estimate of –$0.31 and revenue of $62.72 million against an estimate of $65.88 million. The miss reflects margin compression amid higher operating costs and a shift toward lower‑margin storage services, but the partnership with Telestream is positioned to offset these headwinds by attracting new customers and deepening existing relationships in the media‑storage segment.
Telestream’s estimated annual revenue is approximately $84 million, according to industry estimates. The certification is expected to strengthen Telestream’s competitive position by offering a more complete end‑to‑end archival solution, potentially increasing customer retention and upsell opportunities.
The partnership underscores the growing demand for scalable, durable, and cost‑effective media archives. By combining DIVA’s workflow automation with Quantum’s object‑storage technology, the two companies provide a solution that meets the industry’s need for petabyte‑scale, long‑term preservation while keeping operational costs low. This development is likely to influence future investment decisions for stakeholders focused on media‑storage infrastructure and digital asset management.
