Lift, Shift, and Scale with Azure Native Qumulo
Azure Native Qumulo is a fully managed cloud file system in Azure. Seamlessly migrate demanding workloads without refactoring to gain elastic performance, enterprise NAS features, and up to 80% lower TCO.
Designed to meet the needs of any workload in Azure
Designed to meet the needs of any workload in Azure
From AI to archive, ANQ on Azure lets you support any workload you’d traditionally run on premises, in the cloud.
Disruptive storage pricing model
Optimize your cloud file storage spend with a cost-per-TB comparable or better than most on-prem solutions. You only pay for the resources consumed.
Customizable for any workload
Use Azure VM types and storage classes to match any workload. Scale performance and capacity independently as demand changes.
True enterprise class services
Support all workloads from one platform with NFS, SMB, and Blob support, plus the enterprise features you expect from on-prem file services.
Architected to deliver what no other can
Cloud Native Qumulo is able to combine the performance and scalability of the cloud with the feature set and maturity of on-premises storage, letting you optimize resources to suit your specific needs.

Satisfy your MACC commitments
Deploy CNQ in your tenant using VM and Azure Blob to control performance, capacity, and cost—while retiring MACC and leveraging Azure discounts.
Available on Azure Government Community
Cloud Native Qumulo can be deployed on Azure Government Community Cloud (AGCC). This option is only available for customers with Gov Cloud access.
Analyze your data in CNQ with Microsoft Copilot
Integrate CNQ with Microsoft Copilot using custom connectors. Analyze unstructured data at petabyte scale to drive productivity.
Any use case, at any scale
CNQ eliminates the compatibility, scalability, and cost concerns that have kept your data on-premises for so long. Run virtually any file and object workload in Azure at any scale.
VDI profile storage with Azure Virtual Desktop
Hybrid work is here to stay. And that means more devices in more locations need secure access to your data. If you’re looking to use Azure Virtual Desktop as your VDI solution, CNQ on Azure lets you scale storage progressively, optimizing your per-user costs as you add more profiles.

PACS and Vendor-neutral archives
Whether you’re running a fully cloud-hosted PACS deployment, a cloud-based VNA, or both, CNQ provides a HIPAA-compliant, high durability, and cost-effective solution to store both active and infrequently accessed images in Azure.
Genomic sequencing
CNQ gives you the flexibility to support multiple genomics projects around the globe while meeting each team’s unique performance and capacity requirements. When combined with Cloud Data Fabric, teams in different regions can have low-latency access to data from remote sites.

Cold data and archiving
Keep your data center space lean by moving all your cold and archive data onto a CNQ Cold cluster in Azure to minimize cost-per-TB over the long-term. Using Cloud Data Fabric, you can still ensure rapid retrieval for your infrequently-accessed data for any on-premises user or workload, at any time.
Real-time ransomware detection and recoverability
Pair your Cloud Native Qumulo deployment with real-time ransomware protection tools such as Superna Eyeglass or Rubrik Cloud NAS Direct to protect petabytes of critical on-prem data from ransomware attack, even if your primary storage is from another vendor.
Back up in the cloud
Eliminate the upfront capex of procuring and managing hardware in your data center for data protection. CNQ on Azure offers a secure cold-storage service for your file or object-based backup images, with 11 nines of data durability.
Disaster recovery
Deploy CNQ as a scalable, cost-effective DR solution to your primary on-premises storage. CNQ’s data durability delivers a more reliable DR environment than a two-site on-premises solution, while CNQ’s dynamic performance capabilities mean that it can be quickly reconfigured to deliver production-level throughput in the event of an outage on your primary storage.
Azure Native Qumulo Pricing
See disruptively low pricing for the only cloud-native, exabyte-scale, enterprise-grade file system for hot and cold data. As a fully managed service, you pay monthly for only the storage and throughput you use.

Secure VNet Injection
ANQ integrates directly into your Azure environment using VNet Injection, providing seamless, secure, bi-directional connectivity. This eliminates the latency and vulnerabilities associated with complex VNet peering, proxies, or network load balancers.
AI-Powered NeuralCache
Qumulo’s intelligent caching engine anticipates your data access patterns, serving up to 95% of reads directly from NVMe or system memory. This masks the latency of the underlying Azure Blob storage, delivering lightning-fast, predictable performance for AI, HPC, and media workloads.
Global Cloud Data Fabric
Connect your Azure deployments with on-premises data centers and edge locations to create a single, unified global namespace. Share, access, and collaborate on data across regions instantly without the cost or complexity of duplicating datasets.
Core Benefits
Seamlessly move your file workloads to Microsoft Azure while keeping the familiar enterprise NAS functionality you rely on, including snapshots, replication, quotas, and simultaneous multi-protocol access (NFS, SMB, S3, FTP, and REST).
ANQ dynamically and automatically scales capacity and throughput independently to match your real-time workload demands. Performance starts at 10,000 IOPS and 1 GBps, but can elastically scale to over 20 million IOPS and 1.6 TBps from a single instance.
Utilize a transparent, pay-as-you-go metered pricing model with Hot and Cold tiers designed to lower your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by up to 80%. Plus, 100% of your ANQ subscription decrements your Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC).
Deploy in as little as six minutes directly from the Azure portal. Qumulo automatically handles all backend upgrades, component replacements, and support, eliminating infrastructure management overhead.
One Platform. One Partner. Experts on Standby.
No ticket queue. 24/7 support from engineers who understand Azure-native workloads, cloud data platforms, and large-scale unstructured data. Real humans. Real answers. Backed by the expertise your organization demands.
