in the Business
Freedom of Choice
With Qumulo, you’re never locked in.
Choose the hardware platform you prefer
Grow over time even with hardware from different vendors
Move to the cloud, stay on-prem or choose hybrid… your license moves with you
Full APIs to integrate and automate even across platforms
Expensive, wasteful forklift upgrades
Cloud is extra. And full of limitations
Cloud is on proprietary hardware limited to certain regions. No ‘run anywhere’ software flexibility
Cloud Support
Full enterprise features and 100% compatibility in the cloud
Run non-cloud applications natively
Move data to S3 with built-in tools at no extra cost
Unlimited scale in cloud
Different software platforms for on-prem and cloud mean feature gaps and incompatibilities
Isilon OneFS can’t run active file workloads in the cloud — just archive
NetApp can’t scale in cloud
Cloud support is only available in some regions, sometimes requiring dedicated hardware
Cloud costs extra. Surprise.
Scalability
Qumulo delivers unlimited, linear scale and all-flash performance to all—even on hybrids.
Incredible performance without relying on proprietary hardware
Seamless, linear scale with no limitations on-prem or in the cloud
Add nodes over time even from different manufacturers
Simple to manage even at billion-file, multi-petabyte scale
Core architectures based on outdated SATA technology
Significant scale limitations requiring manual balance on RAID systems and managing inodes
Inefficient journal-then-write is slow and wears components faster
More complex and difficult to manage the larger it gets
Efficiency
Fill to 100% of usable capacity without performance penalty
Scalable Block Store (SBS) efficiently stores both large and small files saving TBs of space
Modern erasure coding at the block level means consistent high performance regardless of file size
Automatic rebalance and reprotect operations aren’t impacted by file size and don’t affect users
Usable capacity only to 85% or less
Severe fragmentation when full reducing performance by up to HALF
Inefficient 8K block size on Isilon OneFS wastes terabytes in typical installations
Last generation erasure coding on Isilon OneFS chokes on large files
Outdated RAID data protection on NetApp requires significant over-provisioning and adds complexity
Security
Always-on software-based encryption with no performance penalty
Support for hardware-based encryption
Encrypted SMB traffic
Hardware-only encryption on some models
Software-based encryption as extra-cost option
Control
Only Qumulo delivers incredible power with incredible control. In real-time.
Real-time capacity and resource analytics without tree-walks
Quotas and permissions changes take effect instantly
Automatic rebalance and reprotect operations do not impact users
Painless Qumulo Core software upgrades in 20 seconds
Analytics are bolted on, not part of core system
Time consuming and impractical tree walks required for all but basic system queries
Quota and permissions changes require tree-walks before they take effect hours or even days later
Upgrades require at least 1-1/2 hours
Customer Success
We take support seriously. Qumulo is best in the business with Net Promoter Scores of 80 or higher. Compare that to our competitors with scores in the low 30s.
Award-winning support, 80+ NPS 4 years running
Direct access to engineers and system admins via Slack, phone, or email
Best supported software product with 24 Qumulo Core releases a year
Frustrating support model with long hold times and slow issue resolution
No direct access to engineers without expensive premium SLAs
Monolithic annual or semi-annual software updates can leave customers waiting years for promised features
