QUMULO
SHOWCASES
'CORE'
SOFTWARE AT
SIGGRAPH
SEATTLE — Qumulo (www.
qumulo.com) introduced its
Qumulo Core software to
attendees at this year's SIG-
GRAPH show in Los Angeles.
Qumulo Core builds real-
time data analytics directly
into storage, giving enterpris-
es an in-depth view of their
data and storage resources
at scale. Key benefits of Qu-
mulo Core include realtime
analytics — Qumulo Core
doesn't just store data, but
also curates and manages it.
As a software-only solu-
tion, Qumulo Core runs on
commodity hardware, on
dedicated appliances, or in
virtual machines. Its flash-
first hybrid design maximiz-
es both price/performance
and price/capacity. Core is
offered as a software as a
service (SaaS). As a storage
solution, it's optimized for a
wide range of workloads and
file sizes. It's also 100 percent
programmable (public and
self-documenting REST API
with interactive API explorer
built into the web UI).
Michael Bott, princi-
pal systems engineer at
Qumulo, presented in the
"Accelerating Digital Media
With Data-Aware Scale-Out
NAS" session at this year's
SIGGRAPH show, where he
discussed the crucial role of
the storage infrastructure in
the media and entertainment
world, and examined the rap-
idly-growing need to store,
manage and curate large
libraries of media content.
