Unprecedented Customer Demand for Managing Enterprise File Data at Scale Fuels Global Expansion
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 21 April 2021 – Qumulo, the breakthrough leader in
radically simplifying enterprise file data management across hybrid-cloud
environments, today announced the expansion of its global operations to
Asia-Pacific (APAC). Driven by increased demand in Australia, India, Japan,
Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand and Singapore, Qumulo also announced an expansion
of its strategic partnership with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to deliver
simplicity and performance to customers across the region including the
People’s Majlis, Republic of Maldives.
“The Qumulo and HPE Solution has provided us the
ability to seamlessly record live video streaming of our Parliament sessions.
With its scale-out architecture, we do not have to worry if we run out of
capacity,” said Ibrahim Yashau, CIO of the People’s Majlis, Republic of
Maldives. “And thanks to Qumulo and InfoSight Management these tools help us to
have real-time insights for both our data and hardware.”
The investment comes less than nine months after
Qumulo announced its Series E round of funding, during which the
company noted its plan to dedicate a portion of funds toward expanding its
global operations. The expansion to APAC builds on the increasing demand for
the Qumulo® File Data Platform in each of these countries
from customers across major verticals, including healthcare, industrial
manufacturing, automotive manufacturing, government, media and entertainment,
and research computing.
“Our decision to expand to the Asia Pacific region was
in response to strong demand from customers that are quickly building
applications that generate enormous amounts of unstructured data to meet the
needs of their businesses,” said Bill Richter, CEO of Qumulo. “Together with
HPE, Qumulo is rapidly transforming the way customers manage their file data at
scale by offering them a radically simple way to modernize their infrastructure
through the power of software and the cloud.”
Qumulo and HPE have a long-standing and
successful global partnership. Since 2017, the two organizations have worked
together to offer the world’s leading file data platform to more than 100 countries
worldwide. Today, HPE and Qumulo are further expanding their partnership to
provide organizations in APAC unmatched file data management simplicity by
combining Qumulo’s NVMe-optimized data platform software with the powerful
innovation in HPE Proliant servers. Together, Qumulo and HPE are uniquely able
to deliver a simpler way to deploy files at scale, with unmatched performance
and security. Customers in APAC can now benefit from the latest data services
in the Qumulo File Data Platform and the performance of NVMe leveraged in the
latest technologies of the HPE DL325 Gen10 Plus.
“Our relationship with Qumulo allows for creative
innovation and advanced modernization for IT infrastructure on a global scale,”
said Joseph Yang, General Manager, Storage Sales Asia Pacific at HPE. “We are
thrilled to be on the journey to take both of our organizations’ capabilities
further within the APAC region through simplified file data deployment.”
The momentum in FY21 was driven by increased customer
demand for massive-scale file data management. With more than 68% of customers
managing a petabyte of file data, Qumulo customers create over one billion
files and perform over 200 billion operations each day, 90 percent of which
take less than one millisecond to execute. The heightened demand was further
reflected in the company’s record net promoter score (NPS) of 91 for customer
satisfaction in Q4 of FY21.
As the world continues to digitize everything and as
file data becomes increasingly important across all industries, Qumulo is
simplifying how companies store, manage and create with file data at massive
scale. Now valued at more than $1.2 billion, Qumulo is focused on global growth
and global expansion. The world’s largest organizations are marching toward a
digital transformation, but the ability to digitize the workflows needed to
create movies, develop vaccines, and enable AI and IoT applications with
large-scale file data, is yet to be unleashed. Qumulo is at the intersection of
two mega trends impacting IT: the digitalization of our world and the advent of
cloud computing. Introducing Qumulo’s solutions creates opportunities for both
private and public sectors in APAC to modernize their IT infrastructure holistically.
“The growth of unstructured data is universal.
Everywhere data exists, customers will be searching for solutions that capture
it and turn it into something that delivers value to their business. Customers
all over the world understand the value of cloud adoption and want to embrace
solutions that make file data simple,” said Matt Leib, Research Director,
Infrastructure Systems, Platforms and Technologies Group at IDC.
