A new press release reports, “Qumulo, Inc., the pioneer and leader in file storage for the cloud era, today announced the availability of Qumulo File Fabric (QF2) on Dell EMC PowerEdge servers, providing enterprises unprecedented choice and flexibility for storing and managing billions of files. Qumulo extends its award-winning solutions across a variety of partners and platforms, enabling enterprises to become more agile by freeing them from appliance lock-in. Only Qumulo supports the customer’s freedom to choose the hardware they run their file storage on while scaling across on-premises and cloud environments.”

Peter Godman, co-founder and CTO of Qumulo, commented, “The builders of data-centers have long known that there are advantages and disadvantages that accompany standardization on a single hardware platform. On the one hand, it’s much easier to manage just one type of hardware. On the other hand, this standardization can mean getting locked into legacy storage technologies… Qumulo’s support for Dell brings new choice in scale-out NAS to those who want a low-complexity hardware environment.”

The release goes on, “QF2 on Dell EMC servers offers utmost flexibility for enterprise customers that want universal-scale file storage on-premises or for private cloud workloads. Built for the highest levels of performance, capacity and efficiency, QF2 combined with the Dell EMC PowerEdge R740xd delivers a future-proof solution for storing and managing hundreds of petabytes and tens of billions of files, providing the most scalable, most efficient file storage in the world.”
