"Right from the word go Qumulo had stated that their IP was in software although they went to market with an appliance form factor. They have already shown what a true data-aware scale-out file and object storage appliance can do for applications that have to deal with millions or billions of files. With the announcement that Qumulo Core is available on HPE servers Qumulo presents the proof point that the software was indeed designed to run on industry standard x86 servers. Now customers who have strategic relationships with HPE can fully enjoy the benefits of a high performance web-scale file and object solution. I am sure more partnerships like this one are in the cards." - Arun Taneja, Founder and Consulting Analyst, Taneja Group
