“It’s used as an archival system so that we can go back and review what has happened in the past around an incident."
“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.”
“Thousands of voices hold the stories that can teach us about a dark chapter in American history. At the Densho Project, our focus is on preserving them before they fade away. In the beginning, there were two forces that really shaped Densho. The first was that our community elders were dying. These were people who lived through World War II, and we needed to get their stories. The second was the emergence of new technology that was needed to capture these memories for future generations.”
“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 closed-circuit television (CCTV) network is all about keeping an eye on what’s happening around the city from a safety perspective."
“Qumulo offers an innovative approach to what people need from storage: the total visibility into what’s happening and the data analytics to troubleshoot on a file-by-file or application level. That’s something we just hadn’t seen from any other vendor.”
“Easily the number one thing that I like about Qumulo is the analytics. We can see data broken down by client and even file path, so we can drill down and see which IP address is accessing which file and what kind of IOPS we’re getting on that project. We can tell if a person needs to close a file or a certain render node is stuck and causing a slowdown.”
“Right now, QF2 is the closest thing to an Apple unboxing, setup, and support experience in the storage world.”
“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.”
“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."
"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."
“I liked Qumulo’s ability to take complex data and put it into a simple GUI that lets you see various elements in real-time.”
“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 in sequence.”
“We had reached the point where IOPS was our major hurdle, and until we installed QF2 I couldn’t even have clearly said that.”
