“It’s a resilient solution and the day-to-day maintenance and operations are easy, too.”
“We had compared the cost of Qumulo’s system against those of its high-end competitors, and frankly, the cost difference was ridiculously wide.”
"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."
“For a critical digital media archive, Qumulo is the safest place I can think to put it short of directly in a backup vault. Soon we won’t need anything else but backup, high-speed virtual storage, and Qumulo."
“Everything was installed in minutes. This was incredible.”
“Not many of the systems we looked at met our requirements. The few that did were expensive and complex, and our cybersecurity team did not feel they were secure enough."
“The best customer experience of any vendor we’ve worked with.”
“What has us really excited about Qumulo is that now we can quickly determine what to save and what can be archived. That gives us a level of visibility into our data and storage that we just didn’t have before.”
“Right now, QF2 is the closest thing to an Apple unboxing, setup, and support experience in the storage world.”
“The safety and security of our guests and employees is a top priority for us and Qumulo’s technology has certainly helped us enhance those efforts. Though this sort of deployment may not be something people see, it allows us the capacity and capability to be more effective and efficient in our workflow. I’m looking forward to Qumulo being a part of our team and process moving forward.”
“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.”
“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 load, but all stumbled when pushed by a single client. Except for QF2.”
“Originally we didn’t think upgrades were going to be so easy; all we do is put the file in place and click the upgrade button.”
“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, it has nothing to do with the storage, you’re saturating the link on the HPC compute node itself."
