"At DreamWorks, we are a digital manufacturer and digital media files are the core asset of our business. During the production of a major animated motion picture, we often create in excess of 500 million media files. If storage fails to perform, the creativity stalls. QF2 gives us the speed …

“3D takes up a lot of space and increases our demands. It’s important to have a solution that can handle every kind of workflow we throw at it and then some, is easy to manage, quick to update, and offers intuitive reporting.”

“We had compared the cost of Qumulo’s system against those of its high-end competitors, and frankly, the cost difference was ridiculously wide.”

“We provide high-tech or complex care which requires quite some technology."

“We noticed that the current system was really reaching its limits, and that the doctors had occasional problems with the speed of getting their images on the PACS system. They are used to speed, that when the images come in and they scroll through them, they will all be there …

“I really like the bi-weekly calls I get from Qumulo Care. That level of proactivity just isn’t something we see from any other vendors, and it really helps us stay connected and ensure there aren’t any issues with the storage.”

“Our research organization falls between the cracks for most storage vendors, with giant imaging sets and millions of tiny genetic sequencing scraps. Finding a system that reasonably handled all our complex workflows was difficult, and in the end only QF2 was the right fit.”

“Most storage vendors tout aggregate bandwidth, which isn’t relevant to us. We care about how quickly each client can get files back and forth from the storage system, or how it handles high volume from a metadata or directory standpoint. Virtually every storage system we looked at addressed our aggregate …

“We needed an innovative new approach to centralizing and optimizing our data.”

"The real-time analytics are awesome because they let us know what’s happening without digging around and figuring it out using third-party or handwritten tools."

“Qumulo’s distributed scale-out NAS file system met our capacity, performance, data integrity, and scale-out requirements at an acceptable price for our client.”

“Large data transfer and storage, high-speed access, sharing, search functionalities — all of these are becoming more and more important for our projects.”

“It almost makes me suspicious how easy this is to use. There’s just one panel to check, a click of a button or two, typing in a name, and that’s it. I was very impressed with that. Very impressed.”

“We inevitably get questions about why a given HPC compute node is slow, and it had always been assumed to be the storage. For every other storage system I’ve used, it was nearly impossible to determine the truth. With Qumulo, I can just pop into the console and say ‘oh, …

“Other vendors claim to ‘scale up’ storage, but there’s a fundamental difference with Qumulo: the ability to linearly scale capacity and performance. Every time I add a node I’m adding network bandwidth and I/O operations, not just a tray of disks, and that’s critical for us.”
