72 Qumulo Testimonials

“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 check, and that’s it. The Qumulo storage just works.”

“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 the old system to get fixed.”

“The safety and security of our guests and employees is a top priority for us and Qumulo’s technology has certainly helped us enhance those efforts. Though this sort of deployment may not be something people see, it allows us the capacity and capability to be more effective and efficient in our workflow. I’m looking forward to Qumulo being a part of our team and process moving forward.”

“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 load, but all stumbled when pushed by a single client. Except for QF2.”

“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.”

“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."

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

“The data we use are professional video files; not standard video files from phones or large cameras. They are big,.”

“It’s a resilient solution and the day-to-day maintenance and operations are easy, too.”

“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.”

"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 to meet our demanding production schedules, while continuing to raise the bar on creating the world’s most compelling movie experiences."

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