### "Storage with no barriers."

December 21, 2021

5.0

Zero latency for opening large files.

Pros

One central hub to monitor and update the storage for our entire company. No downtime and no complaints.

Cons

would be great to have a better link between archived/backed up storage with live storage (i.e. stub files or links) - but the Qumulo team keep improving the software with every version.

### "Happy qumulo customer"

December 16, 2021

5.0

We are very happy and the users are in love having everything in one central network share now

Pros

Support is amazing and the best I have ever used in the industry for any hardware or software vendor. The meta data and monitoring is also "baked" into the software.

Cons

The software is still a little expensive so it can be hard to expand the system without a lot of upper management support.

### "Amazingly useful system and software"

December 16, 2021

5.0

We use a Qumulo P series stack to service scratch storage for our research computing environment. It replaced a parallel file system with simple NFS mounts, and yielded a quantum increase in performance for the mixed application environment we support.

Pros

The builtin Analytics make it easy to find hot spots. The capacity can be easily increased with no service disruption. Customer support is outstanding

Cons

The software is amazing, but the all-flash platform, while exceptionally performant, is not inexpensive

Reason for choosing Qumulo File Data Platform

Sheer performance, capacity, and it fit in our budget.

January 3, 2022

4.0

Pros

Very easy to configure and to have a functional array. Very lot of metrics, useful on the management and monitoring on the storage.

Cons

The best feature for me will be to be able to add "cache" disk more easily (without buy new type of node) => to be fully software defined !

Reason for choosing Qumulo File Data Platform

Best metrics Easy to configure, no specials knowledge to have.
