“First and foremost, the level of support we got from Qumulo was just absolutely fantastic. Very hands on. They were there every step of the way. We did a POC, and the performance just blew the engineers away.”

“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 …

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

“People’s behavior is influenced by direct, immediate feedback on the impact their work is having on the system. And it can’t just be at a macro level. With Qumulo, our employees can see real-time graphs that update as they work − providing that granular visibility is surprisingly effective.”

“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.”

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

"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."

“Different departments had different data requirements, so during peak demand times, some departments had very good speeds. Others were limited to a crawl.”

"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 …

“The best customer experience of any vendor we’ve worked with.”

“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.”

“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, …

“The solution has allowed us to forge an emergency path to take very easily. Its massive rendering capability provides a level of security we didn’t have before. We know we can burst up pretty fast without any worries, which gives us and the artists peace of mind.”

Since we deployed the Qumulo File Data Platform, the game changed. The platform lets us spin up one thousand computers within minutes, not days or weeks. This advantage is just the start. We are confident we can scale to three thousand nodes."

“Having everything in the same place was going to be vital going forward. We needed a new solution that suited the entire business, rather than relying on individual departments to create their own.”
