“Now that we moved to Qumulo, our artists and production teams are hitting their deadlines with less stress and fewer hours and have the time to produce higher quality work than ever before. They’re happier and better able to focus since they no longer have to spend time waiting for …

“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.”

“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."

“Before we had a number of different storage systems, and it got really cumbersome and clunky. With Qumulo it’s great to have everything in one place while supporting multiple workflows. The speed is noticeably faster and makes the digital services team’s jobs easier and more efficient.”

“In the past few years several major library systems have experienced disruptions due to network security attacks. Keeping data safe and avoiding service interruptions are a top priority 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, …

“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 …

"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 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.”

“Innovative and effective, with very thoughtful engineering.”

“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 …

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

“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.”
