Qumulo has rolled out its Cloud Native Qumulo (CNQ) on Amazon Web Services (AWS). This new solution targets managing unstructured data with an emphasis on performance, scalability, flexibility, and cost efficiency. Available now on AWS, it addresses the high demands of high-performance workloads using a cloud-native method.
CNQ is designed for multiple sectors, including healthcare, life sciences, media and entertainment, higher education, financial services, and energy. It also fits advanced industrial setups and Industry 2.0 use cases, including manufacturing and technology organizations. For regulated sectors or federal entities, CNQ can be deployed in AWS GovCloud, ensuring a secure and compliant option meeting strict regulations.
“For the first time, customers can use CNQ on AWS to elastically burst performance or capacity at will, customising 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.”
This platform seeks to change the economics of cloud data management, offering pricing up to 80% less than legacy file offerings. CNQ leverages AWS S3 for long-term data persistence, drastically cutting costs without sacrificing performance. An intelligent cache management system speeds up data access between object storage and compute. It avoids the latency often associated with file transfers from S3 to temporary caches, allowing a broader range of file workloads to move from on-premises data centers to the cloud.
This launch marks a significant step for Qumulo in cloud data management. CNQ aims to provide organizations with the flexibility, performance, and cost efficiency needed to manage their data efficiently while leveraging the benefits of the cloud and maintaining economic advantages associated with on-premises environments.
