“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’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."

"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."

“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.”

“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 …

“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.”

“Having everything in the same place was going to be vital going forward. We needed a new solution that suited the entire business, rather than relying on individual departments to create their own.”

“The infrastructure to support our customized approach can be demanding on our workstations and resources. Our job in IT is figuring out how to address those challenges and ensure our systems are optimized to fit our growing needs, all while doing so at a competitive price.”

“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 …

“Honestly, I have never seen the type of reaction that I saw from customers in those first Qumulo meetings. Every single one wanted to buy – it was merely a question of when and how much.”

“Our clients have a very diverse set of needs. They’re looking for solutions and geographic-enabled data that helps them solve problems. Those problems could be sea level-rise studies, flood map determination, forest inventories – we have a wide variety of needs we support.”

“Our job in IT is to make sure that the data is always available and that our storage is always scaling.“

“When our deputies stay safe, they can keep the public safe. Our technology helps to ensure their safety and makes a hard job easier.”
