Qumulo, the leading provider of cloud data platforms, today 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.
