Why Cisco UCS & Qumulo
The solution transforms storage from a complex operational burden into a strategic asset. The initial focus is on two critical enterprise workloads:
Unified Platform for Splunk Observability
Observability is another marquee workload. Qumulo’s Data Platform streams OpenTelemetry directly into Splunk pipelines, enabling scalable deployments on Cisco UCS—from high-performance all-flash to cost-efficient HDD platforms. This turnkey approach simplifies rollout and provides a secure, reliable foundation for cybersecurity, situational awareness, and enterprise observability across environments.
Unlocking Trapped Data for AI
The joint solution consolidates billions of files and petabytes-to-exabytes of unstructured data into a single, globally consistent namespace. This removes stranded data, giving AI systems instant access for more accurate models across workloads such as medical imaging, signals intelligence, autonomous driving, life sciences, geospatial mapping, video surveillance, and enterprise content.
