“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 …

“Thousands of voices hold the stories that can teach us about a dark chapter in American history. At the Densho Project, our focus is on preserving them before they fade away. In the beginning, there were two forces that really shaped Densho. The first was that our community elders were …

“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 …

“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."

“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.”

“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 …

“Everything was installed in minutes. This was incredible.”

“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 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, …

“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 …

“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.”

“Qumulo’s responsive and proactive customer support was an important benefit and set the company apart from all the other vendors we’ve seen.”
