“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.”
“Large data transfer and storage, high-speed access, sharing, search functionalities — all of these are becoming more and more important for our projects.”
“Innovative and effective, with very thoughtful engineering.”
“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 can tell if a person needs to close a file or a certain render node is stuck and causing a slowdown.”
“The data we use are professional video files; not standard video files from phones or large cameras. They are big,.”
“It’s a resilient solution and the day-to-day maintenance and operations are easy, too.”
“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.”
“Data is the currency and lifeblood of scientific research. We needed to respond to the concerns of exponential data growth, how to store and present data in an intuitive and non-intrusive way, and how to manage and protect stored data without impacting daily operations.”
“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.”
“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.”
“We had compared the cost of Qumulo’s system against those of its high-end competitors, and frankly, the cost difference was ridiculously wide.”
