Quick Launch
Cloud Native Qumulo (CNQ) is a scalable, high-performance file storage solution for AWS, optimized for unstructured data. With multi-protocol support (NFS, SMB, S3 API), seamless Active Directory integration, and cost-efficient S3-backed storage, CNQ offers both hot and cold storage modes with usage-based pricing for capacity, throughput, and IOPS-metered per minute. Ideal for media, healthcare, and seismic data workloads, CNQ enables flexible cloud-native file storage with no upfront costs.
Overview
Modern enterprises rely on high-performance file storage, but traditional on-premises solutions are costly, rigid, and difficult to scale. Cloud alternatives often lack critical enterprise features, forcing compromises on performance, scalability, or cost.
Cloud Native Qumulo (CNQ) is a fully cloud-native file data platform, purpose-built for unstructured data workloads in AWS. CNQ delivers scalable, multi-protocol file storage with enterprise-grade performance, backed by cost-efficient Amazon S3 storage. It is ideal for media production, healthcare imaging, seismic data analysis, financial modeling, and research applications - all without hardware dependencies.
Flexible Storage Modes & Pay-As-You-Go Pricing
CNQ offers two distinct operating modes to match workload needs:
- Hot Mode: Backed by S3-Standard or S3-Intelligent Tiering for low-latency workloads (e.g., video editing, AI/ML, seismic analysis).
- Cold Mode: Optimized for cost-effective storage using colder S3 tiers, ideal for archives and secondary data.
Customers can deploy multiple clusters in either hot or cold mode1, with transparent pay-as-you-go pricing.
Usage-Based Pricing Model
CNQ eliminates upfront costs, with minute-by-minute metering based on:
- Data Stored on System: Billed per GB-month2, like S3, EFS, and FSx.
- Throughput & IOPS Consumption: Most customers stay comfortably within the included 5 GB/s and 50,000 IOPS, with no additional charge. If your workload pushes beyond those thresholds, a modest fee applies based on actual usage per-minute (not provisioned capacity), ensuring cost efficiency.
- Cloud Data Fabric Usage: Charges apply for data exported via the Qumulo Cloud Data Fabric, with distinct pricing for hot and cold storage modes.
Key Features & Benefits
- High-Performance File Storage in AWS: Powered by NVMe caching, predictive read-ahead, and scalable performance for demanding workloads.
- Multi-Protocol Enterprise Compatibility: Full support for NFSv3, NFSv4.1, SMBv2, SMBv3, S3-Compatible API, FTP, and HTTP REST API.
- Seamless Identity & Security Integration: Works with Active Directory, identity mapping, cross-protocol permission enforcement, quotas, snapshots, and compliance-grade audit logging.
- Elastic Scaling: Scale instance count up and down dynamically while keeping data persistently stored on cost-efficient S3 storage classes.
- Multi-AZ & Hybrid Cloud Capabilities: Supports regional redundancy, replication across AWS regions, and hybrid data movement with Qumulo Cloud Data Fabric.
Simple, Automated Deployment
CNQ deploys automatically via Qumulo Nexus, provisioning a cluster in your AWS account in minutes. Customers can start with no upfront commitment and only pay for what they use, ensuring full flexibility in cloud storage consumption.
For organizations looking to modernize their file-based workflows in AWS, Cloud Native Qumulo delivers unmatched scalability, performance, and cost-efficiency.
1 While this product is listed as SaaS, CNQ deploys EC2 instances and S3 storage within the customer's AWS account, ensuring full customer control over infrastructure. Qumulo Nexus, the control plane, operates as a SaaS managed by Qumulo. Customers are responsible for all AWS infrastructure costs incurred in their account.
2 CNQ data storage usage is calculated identically to other AWS storage services in binary gigabytes (GB), where 1 GB is 230 bytes. This unit of measurement is also known as a gibibyte (GiB), defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
Highlights
- High-Performance File Storage for AWS: Unlock rapid read-write speeds and ultra-low latency with direct-attached NVMe caching. Scale instance counts on demand while data resides on cost-efficient Amazon S3. Ideal for media production, seismic analysis, and healthcare imaging.
- Flexible Hot & Cold Modes: Choose high-performance "hot" storage for active workloads or cost-optimized "cold" storage for archival needs. Seamlessly deploy multiple clusters with multi-protocol support (NFS, SMB, S3, FTP, REST) and enterprise-grade security features.
- Transparent Usage-Based Pricing: Pay only for what you use - capacity is billed per GB-month, with throughput and IOPS metered per minute. Eliminate overprovisioning costs and take advantage of Qumulo Cloud Data Fabric for hybrid and multi-region data access.

Truly Elastic Enterprise File and Object
Reviewed on May 28, 2025

Decided to use the CloudFormation wizard to deploy which nice and easy. The main features of Qumulo I like are the ability to scale performance up and down independent of capacity. Using Qumulo Cloud Data Fabric I can now burst compute jobs from on-prem to AWS when we need to urgently deliver a customer project. On a personal note, the fact users can self restore their own files using Microsoft Previous Versions saves me a lot of time each week.

Exceptional Cloud-Native File Storage Solution
Reviewed on May 27, 2025
Purchase verified by AWS
Qumulo's Cloud Native platform has transformed our data management strategy on AWS. The deployment process is remarkably straightforward - we had our complete file data platform operational in under 15 minutes using automation templates.
The automatic scaling to petabyte capacity in a single namespace eliminates traditional storage limitations. What impressed us most is the 1-2 millisecond time-to-first-byte latencies, which are up to 100x faster than other object platforms, making it ideal for our AI and HPC workloads. The dynamic performance scaling allows us to add or remove compute instances based on demand, ensuring we only pay for what we use.
We've seen Qumulo deliver up to 80% cost savings compared to other cloud based file services. The ability to use any S3 storage tier for the persistent data layer lets us optimize costs by balancing storage expenses against data access requirements.
Multi-protocol support (NFS, SMB, REST, and S3) enables seamless integration with existing workflows. The platform's enterprise-class features including snapshots, replication, and quotas provide the reliability our organization requires. Cross-site data mobility with on-premises Qumulo deployments creates a truly hybrid solution.
For organizations seeking high-performance, scalable file storage on AWS without compromising on features or breaking the budget, Qumulo is an outstanding choice.

Scalability and reliable performance even under heavy load

Being able to scale up/down the cluster size accordingly to the workloads is definitely a plus, in order to optimize the performance and associated costs.
The usage of different flavours of S3 as backend, combined with an intelligent caching mechanism (NeuralCache) allows for an even greater flexibility and adaptability to different workloads.
The interface is very easy to use and intuitive, you have all the supported protocols at your fingertips: FTP/FTPS, SMB, NFS, S3 and REST API.
The paygo model is a plus and you can address from tens to thousands of TBs in a single cluster, being billed for effective space consumed is another huge plus.
