“Qumulo’s distributed scale-out NAS file system met our capacity, performance, data integrity, and scale-out requirements at an acceptable price for our client.”

“With critical high-profile projects, you want to know exactly what you’re going to be leaning on for successful delivery. When the La La Land project came around it was make or break, and we were never down for a moment. QF2 is our rock, allowing us to focus on the …

“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.”

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

“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 …

“We managed the SAN on an ad-hoc basis. We had to work with artists and producers to identify data they could live without and immediately offload or archive it. When they needed to retrieve those assets, IT had to search and retrieve them. This process was a distraction and a …

“As I see it, the job of storage administration shouldn’t exist. If your storage solution is truly doing its job, you should be able to focus on managing your data instead of managing your storage.”

“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.”

“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, …

“We use a custom AMI that has some internal automation. For that, we use CloudFormation. It gets itself on the network, mounts the Qumulo storage, sets up the Deadline Slaves, and a few other things. Right now, we start and terminate the QF2 instances manually.”

“We needed an innovative new approach to centralizing and optimizing our data.”

“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 …

“What has us really excited about Qumulo is that now we can quickly determine what to save and what can be archived. That gives us a level of visibility into our data and storage that we just didn’t have before.”
