Truly Elastic Enterprise File and Object
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
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.
Outperformed everything else I've tried
Once launched, Qumulo outperformed everything else i had tried in cloud from a file perspective, the ease of use and real time analytics, in combination with the Cloud Data Fabric meant im now able to create some business value in my organization and fix some data challanges ive had for years.
Highly recommended
Hey that was easy!
Simple and fast deployment! I need storage for multiple platforms and protocols and the requirement can come up quickly. Super easy to get this spun up and data flowing between different platforms using different protocols. THE DATA MUST FLOW!
Perfect solution for cloud data processing
We have Qumulo on premises and would like to extend our data to cloud. Cloud Native Qumulo on AWS has been a game-changer for our cloud-first strategy. Simple click and deploy and a few tweaks, viola! our data was ready to process at cloud at small cost!. It's fast to deploy, reliable and easy to use, and purpose-built for cloud. It is exactly what we our devops team asked to support our dynamic, performance-intensive application. Happy to use and will be a key element on our hybrid cloud architecture!
Fast and easy to deploy and combine
we recently deployed Cloud Native Qumulo (CNQ) through the AWS Marketplace, and I’m blown away by how seamless and powerful this solution is! From start to finish, the setup was incredibly smooth—my cluster was up and running in under 15 minutes using Qumulo Nexus. The automated deployment made it a breeze to get started, and the pay-as-you-go pricing model is a perfect fit for our dynamic workload needs.
CNQ’s multi-protocol support (NFS, SMB, S3) has been a lifesaver for our fast AI workflow, allowing us to integrate seamlessly with our existing tools. Since we have some deployments in other hyperscalers, the combination with Qumulo Global Namespace is great.
Easy to install, elastic performance
As a storage consultant, I am always testing new storage solutions. Qumulo got my attention due to their claim that they decoupled compute and storage, giving elasticity both on the non-provisioning persistent storage (backed by S3) and ec2 fleet. I deployed and started testing performance with my linux client with FIO in 15 minutes, quite impressively simple to deploy. Next step I will test the scalability adding more nodes and removing them later.
Qumulo CNQ just works
I needed a fast and reliable file-sharing solution that supported both SMB and NFS protocols for seamless access by cloud and on-premises users. Qumulo CNQ met that need perfectly. I was able to deploy it quickly through the marketplace—my cluster was up and running within 10 minutes. By the end of the day, I was already sharing data between the cloud and my data center clients with ease. The setup process was straightforward, and the performance has been solid so far.
Simple to deploy on AWS!
The entire deployment took about 20 minutes from start to finish with complete integration into Qumulo's Nexus monitoring system. This is a fully featured multi-protocol filesystem and I only have to pay for what I use. No capacity planning required! Plus, I can expand the compute for more performance right from the Nexus page where I get realtime stats on my storage cluster. Fabulous experience!
