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.
