“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.”

“If we have a long-term timeframe where we know we’re not going to use QF2, we terminate it and we tell the Qumulo support team. We’ve learned that we should tell them when we’re turning it off because they monitor it so nicely that, otherwise, when we do terminate it, …

“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 …

“Understanding data usage was the thing that plagued us the most. With the real-time visibility I saw in Qumulo, that was clearly going to be a thing of the past.”

“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."

“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.”

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

“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 …

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

“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.”

“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.”

“We had compared the cost of Qumulo’s system against those of its high-end competitors, and frankly, the cost difference was ridiculously wide.”

“Replicating files between our two data centers used to take days and now takes less than a minute. It’s a 2000X improvement, and takes risk out of my organization."
