“Replicating files between our two data centers used to take days and now takes less than a minute. It’s a 2000X improvement, and takes risk out of my organization."

“We selected Qumulo because its file system gave us both the scalability and high-performance that our studio requires."

“Other vendors claim to ‘scale up’ storage, but there’s a fundamental difference with Qumulo: the ability to linearly scale capacity and performance. Every time I add a node I’m adding network bandwidth and I/O operations, not just a tray of disks, and that’s critical for us.”

“It almost makes me suspicious how easy this is to use. There’s just one panel to check, a click of a button or two, typing in a name, and that’s it. I was very impressed with that. Very impressed.”

"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."

“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.“

“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.”

“Large data transfer and storage, high-speed access, sharing, search functionalities — all of these are becoming more and more important for our projects.”

“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.”

“Not many of the systems we looked at met our requirements. The few that did were expensive and complex, and our cybersecurity team did not feel they were secure enough."

“The best customer experience of any vendor we’ve worked with.”

“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.”
