“Having the HPE name behind it was helpful. My company has a strong affinity for known brands and having HPE behind it was a solid winner. We required encryption on disk for data at rest, and this was the only solution that met that need at the time.”

“We use a custom AMI that has some internal automation. For that, we use CloudFormation. It gets itself on the network, mounts the Qumulo storage, sets up the Deadline Slaves, and a few other things. Right now, we start and terminate the QF2 instances manually.”

“It’s a resilient solution and the day-to-day maintenance and operations are easy, too.”

“Honestly, I have never seen the type of reaction that I saw from customers in those first Qumulo meetings. Every single one wanted to buy – it was merely a question of when and how much.”

“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, …

“Right now, QF2 is the closest thing to an Apple unboxing, setup, and support experience in the storage world.”

"I’m happy to say that Qumulo has made me look very good to my management and I appreciate it."

"Qumulo is obsessively focused on customer’s needs. It all comes down to being responsive to customer needs and being an equal partner in delivering business value."

“Qumulo’s responsive and proactive customer support was an important benefit and set the company apart from all the other vendors we’ve seen.”

“Qumulo is a huge benefit to us. We can spin up as many high-quality render nodes as we need, in as many regions as we need, without impacting our local storage. And the Qumulo hybrid cloud software can handle whatever we throw at it. It is an essential part of …

“We managed the SAN on an ad-hoc basis. We had to work with artists and producers to identify data they could live without and immediately offload or archive it. When they needed to retrieve those assets, IT had to search and retrieve them. This process was a distraction and a …

“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.”

“Data is the currency and lifeblood of scientific research. We needed to respond to the concerns of exponential data growth, how to store and present data in an intuitive and non-intrusive way, and how to manage and protect stored data without impacting daily operations.”

“From beginning to end, it was as easy as it gets.”

“The infrastructure to support our customized approach can be demanding on our workstations and resources. Our job in IT is figuring out how to address those challenges and ensure our systems are optimized to fit our growing needs, all while doing so at a competitive price.”
