About Company

Company Description

Updated 25th July 2024

Qumulo is a company that provides solutions for managing vast amounts of primarily unstructured data. With the constant increase in data size and complexity, businesses face challenges in effectively managing their data stores across various platforms, including data centers, edge, and cloud, especially when working with limited budgets and personnel. Current solutions tend to be either overly complex or restrict users to specific, expensive proprietary platforms. Qumulo presents an alternative by offering a simplified method to manage data on an exabyte-scale, irrespective of location - edge, core or cloud- or platform. Given the global trend of expanding file quantities and the rise of zettabytes, there is a demand for a solution that offers both adaptability and simplicity, which is what Qumulo seeks to provide.

    Overall, the performance and reliability of our Qumulo clusters was fine. However, it was a painful process to get all of the metadata ssds with high wear rates replaced. In general, their support team was knowledgeable and quickly responsive via Slack channel.
