“We selected Qumulo because its file system gave us both the scalability and high-performance that our studio requires."

“Qumulo has given us insight on our systems and storage that we just didn’t have before.”

“It almost makes me suspicious how easy this is to use. There’s just one panel to check, a click of a button or two, typing in a name, and that’s it. I was very impressed with that. Very impressed.”

“Innovative and effective, with very thoughtful engineering.”

"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 …

“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.”

“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, …

“Our closed-circuit television (CCTV) network is all about keeping an eye on what’s happening around the city from a safety perspective."

“From the moment we installed it, the Qumulo cluster has been rock solid. I spend zero time managing the system, and that’s my metric for good storage: I don’t ever want to see it. I just set up my notifications and monitoring, every now and then do a quick health …

“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.”

“It’s used as an archival system so that we can go back and review what has happened in the past around an incident."

“Our clients have a very diverse set of needs. They’re looking for solutions and geographic-enabled data that helps them solve problems. Those problems could be sea level-rise studies, flood map determination, forest inventories – we have a wide variety of needs we support.”

“Our job in IT is to make sure that the data is always available and that our storage is always scaling.“

“On average, we go ten times faster than a company that does standard computing."
