“It’s used as an archival system so that we can go back and review what has happened in the past around an incident."
“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.”
“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 dying. These were people who lived through World War II, and we needed to get their stories. The second was the emergence of new technology that was needed to capture these memories for future generations.”
“Our job in IT is to make sure that the data is always available and that our storage is always scaling.“
“Innovative and effective, with very thoughtful engineering.”
"I’m happy to say that Qumulo has made me look very good to my management and I appreciate it."
“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."
“Managing data with Qumulo is so simple it’s hard to describe the impact. It’s given us tremendous ROI in terms of time saved and problems eliminated, and having that reliable storage we can finally trust makes us eager to use it more broadly throughout the company.”
“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, it has nothing to do with the storage, you’re saturating the link on the HPC compute node itself."
“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.”
“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."
“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."
“We used to have storage that was a lot slower about 600 megabits per second.”
“We had compared the cost of Qumulo’s system against those of its high-end competitors, and frankly, the cost difference was ridiculously wide.”
