“Innovative and effective, with very thoughtful engineering.”
“Our primary focus here at the VRC [Vehicle Research Center] is consumer education. We’re trying to get people to buy the safer vehicles. That’s why we do the testing."
"The real-time analytics are awesome because they let us know what’s happening without digging around and figuring it out using third-party or handwritten tools."
“Qumulo is a huge benefit to us. We can spin up as many high-quality render nodes as we need, in as many regions as we need, without impacting our local storage. And the Qumulo hybrid cloud software can handle whatever we throw at it. It is an essential part of our cloud deployment strategy.”
“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.”
“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, people start calling me to tell me my cloud cluster is down.”
“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.”
“For a critical digital media archive, Qumulo is the safest place I can think to put it short of directly in a backup vault. Soon we won’t need anything else but backup, high-speed virtual storage, and Qumulo."
“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.”
“We had reached the point where IOPS was our major hurdle, and until we installed QF2 I couldn’t even have clearly said that.”
“Visualizations are core to IHME communications with policymakers for the scientific papers that are rigorously peer-reviewed by journals. Qumulo is critical to enabling us to distill hundreds of millions of data points into a single visualization, which allows policymakers to easily view the results and communicate them to their teams.”
“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.”
“Right now, QF2 is the closest thing to an Apple unboxing, setup, and support experience in the storage world.”
"I’m happy to say that Qumulo has made me look very good to my management and I appreciate it."
“We’ve had several different storage solutions in the past. One thing that they all suffered from was this requirement that once you grow to a certain point, you then need to upgrade some major component of the system or buy a whole new system."
