Qumulo announced the general availability of Cloud
Native Qumulo (CNQ) on Amazon Web Services (AWS). This release delivers an
enterprise-proven, multi-protocol system designed to manage unstructured data
with superior performance, scalability, flexibility, and cost efficiency. Now
publicly available on AWS, CNQ is set to revolutionize enterprise data management
by meeting the rigorous demands of high-performance workloads with a
cloud-native approach.
Revolutionizing Data Management Across Industries
CNQ is designed to cater to various industries,
including healthcare and life sciences, media and entertainment, higher
education, financial services, and the energy sector. It also supports advanced
industrial environments and Industry 2.0 use cases, making it an ideal solution
for manufacturing and technology organizations. For customers in regulated
industries or those supporting federal entities, CNQ can be deployed in AWS
GovCloud, offering a secure, compliant option that meets stringent government
and regulatory requirements.
"For the first time, customers can use CNQ on AWS to elastically burst
performance or capacity at will, customizing the storage instance to meet
dynamic workload demands," said Kiran Bhageshpur, chief technology officer at
Qumulo. "CNQ can be deployed within minutes and updated within seconds,
enabling customers to run enterprise file workloads within their Virtual
Private Clouds (VPCs), with optional use of S3 intelligent tiering to reduce
infrastructure costs further."
Disrupting Cloud Data Economics
CNQ offers a transformative approach to cloud
economics, priced up to 80% less than legacy file offerings. By leveraging AWS
S3 for long-term data persistence, CNQ significantly reduces costs without
sacrificing performance. Its intelligent cache management accelerates data
access between object storage and compute, ensuring all data is served
efficiently from NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express). This eliminates the
long-tail latencies typically associated with file transfers from S3 to
temporary caches, unlocking a wide range of file workloads previously
constrained by on-premises data centers due to performance or cost limitations.
Key Benefits of Cloud Native Qumulo (CNQ) on AWS:
- Simplicity: CNQ can be deployed in
minutes using a wide range of EC2 instance types, making it easy to get
started and adapt to changing needs.
- Elasticity: Seamlessly expand and contract performance and
capacity within minutes to match dynamic workload requirements without
disruption.
- Scalability: Scale data footprints to exabyte levels,
accommodating the growing data demands of modern enterprises.
- Durability: Benefit from the 99.999999999% durability of AWS S3,
ensuring data is protected and available at all times.
- Economics: Pay only for what you
use, when you use it, with optional S3 intelligent tiering to optimize
costs further.
With the launch of Cloud Native Qumulo on AWS, Qumulo
sets a new standard for cloud data management, delivering unparalleled
flexibility, performance, and cost efficiency. This new offering empowers
organizations to fully leverage the power of the cloud while maintaining the
economic advantages of on-premises environments.
