Qumulo today
announced availability worldwide of a new line of fully integrated file
storage solutions on the highly performant Hewlett Packard Enterprise
(HPE) Apollo 4200 Gen10 servers. The new solution provides enterprise
organizations scalable, software-defined file storage with deep data
visibility into unstructured data workloads that scale-across on-prem,
hybrid and cloud environments.
The file storage market is growing rapidly to process, analyze and store massive unstructured data sets. Analyst firm IDC reports that the scale-out file storage market will become an $11B market by 2022, up nearly 2X from previous forecasts.
"Global
enterprises are increasingly looking to scalable file storage to
address their massive unstructured data processing, analytics and
retention demands," said Amita Potnis, Research Director, Infrastructure
Systems, Platforms and Technologies Group at IDC.
HPE
Apollo Gen10 addresses today's storage-centric workloads while adapting
to future requirements with a superior hardware system architecture
that is data-secure by design throughout the product lifecycle. HPE's
new technology, called silicon root of trust, allows enterprise
organizations to be confident that nowhere in the supply chain were
modifications made to hardware platforms. Coupled with FIPS 140-2
encryption-at-rest, the new Gen10-based platforms deliver
industry-leading innovation for secure, enterprise file storage.
"By
delivering our scale-across file storage technology as software, Qumulo
provides customers an unprecedented level of choice, freedom and
flexibility. Our software model enables customers to benefit from the
world's most capable and simple-to-manage file system, while at the same
time, taking advantage of the significant advancements from HPE in
security and predictive analytics to prevent infrastructure problems
before they happen," said Bill Richter, CEO of Qumulo. "Qumulo's file
storage, delivered on the Apollo Gen 10 platform, offers companies the
best of both worlds. I'm delighted that the partnership with HPE
delivers on our joint promise of innovation and customer success."
The
joint solution provides ultra-dense rack-scale file storage, low total
cost of ownership (TCO) in a 2U chassis, and configurations optimized
for performance, mixed workloads, and active archive. Geographically
dispersed environments can leverage continuous replication to move data
between data centers and the public cloud.
"The
powerful combination of HPE Apollo 4200 Gen10 servers, together with
Qumulo's hybrid cloud file storage, effectively addresses the growing
unstructured data needs that enterprises are facing. By sharing our
vision of the intelligent data platform, we provide the ability to scale
and manage billions of files with instant control at lower costs and
high performance on-prem, in the cloud, or spanning both, now and into
the future," said Patrick Osborne, Vice President and General Manager
for Big Data, Analytics, and Scale-Out Data Platforms at Hewlett Packard
Enterprise.
Qumulo's
distributed file system is available in three configurations of the HPE
Apollo 4200 Gen10 servers, the HPE-90T, HPE-192T and HPE-336T. All
offerings are cost-optimized for different environments, taking
advantage of the servers' incredible density and flexibility to provide
the right amount of compute, HDDs, SSDs, and networking in a compact 2U
form factor.
Qumulo
is working with HPE to deliver on the promise of hybrid cloud
workflows. HPE offers both on-prem and hybrid cloud solutions that
leverage Qumulo's file system both on-prem and in AWS.
Customers
can purchase the new solutions through HPE and HPE value-added
resellers (VARs). HPE customers with cloud initiatives can also purchase
Qumulo cloud offerings for Amazon Web Services (AWS) through HPE.
