“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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 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 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.“
“Right now, QF2 is the closest thing to an Apple unboxing, setup, and support experience in the storage world.”
“Qumulo has given us insight on our systems and storage that we just didn’t have before.”
“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."
“Everything was installed in minutes. This was incredible.”
“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.”
“On average, we go ten times faster than a company that does standard computing."
