way I could install 1,000 machines in our network here. I don’t have
the power or cooling to support them. We were able to make the
decision, and in less than 1 hour be rendering on 1,000 machines.

think about how easy it was, it still doesn’t sound real.”

Webinar: NAS vs Object - Can NAS Make a Comeback?
The document discusses the evolving landscape of unstructured data storage, highlighting the challenges and limitations of traditional NAS and object storage solutions. It advocates for a next-generation NAS system that provides high performance, scalability, and seamless cloud integration, offering real-time visibility and control over file data. Qumulo is presented as a modern solution that unifies on-premises and cloud storage, addressing the needs of today’s data environment.

- 3. Unstructured Data is Changing ●Growing in capacity ○ Growing in file count ○ Increased retention requirements ○ Increased compliance demands ● Requires rethinking how it is stored
- 4. How is Unstructured Data StoredToday? ● Traditional Scale-up or Scale-out NAS ● Object Storage ● Cloud Storage ● Hybrid Versions of the Above
- 5. ● NAS maymeet performance demands but can handle file counts and metadata requirements ○ Forces purchase of multiple NAS systems ● Object may meet the capacity and file count demands but can’t handle performance demands ○ Forces conversion to a completely new way of storing data State of Unstructured Data Storage ● Both lack a seamless cloud integration ● The issue is the file system not hardware ○ Most file systems are decades old ○ Next generation file system
- 6. Challenges with Traditional NAS Solutions ● Can’t handletoday’s file count demands ● Metadata performance limitations may force ½ capacity upgrades ● Scale-out systems experience controller node bottleneck ● Too expensive to meet long term retention capabilities ● Limited insight into data to meet compliance needs ● Limited integration with cloud
- 7. Challenge with TraditionalObject Storage ● Not natively POSIX compliant ○ Applications have been slow to convert to S3 ○ Requires the addition of a gateway ● Metadata Heavy ○ Can handle large amounts of rich metadata but does so at a cost to performance ● Integrates with Cloud ○ Requires a complete handoff to cloud storage ○ Like managing two separate object stores
- 8. Time for aChange - Next Generation NAS ● Rewritten for modern high capacity, high file count use case ○ Simple setup - IT doesn’t have time for an erector set ○ High performance on both small files and large ○ Real-time visibility into capacity and usage ○ File system is at home on- premises and in cloud

Editor's Notes
- #11 A modern solution is needed...to allow you to focus on your data, not your storage Scale up: Top of rack notes won’t scale without silos Scale out: A few racks reach their limit Now - scale across: Multiple geographies and cloud are standard
- #15 Why are we here?
- #16 Qumulo distributed hybrid file system includes powerful real-time analytics and capacity quotas, as well as cross-cluster replication and snapshots. Continuous replication Qumulo provides continuous replication across storage clusters, whether on premises or in the public cloud. Once a replication relationship between a source cluster and a target cluster has been established and synchronized, Qumulo automatically keeps data consistent. There’s no need to manage the complex job queues for replication associated with legacy storage appliances. Snapshots Snapshots let system administrators preserve the state of a file system or directory at a given point in time. If a file or directory is modified or deleted unintentionally, users or administrators can revert it to its saved state. Snapshots in Qumulo and have an extremely efficient and scalable implementation. A single Qumulo cluster can have a virtually unlimited number of concurrent snapshots without performance or capacity degradation. Real-time quotas Quotas allow administrators to specify how much capacity a given directory is allowed to use for files. If an administrator sees that a rogue user is causing a subdirectory to grow too quickly, the administrator can instantly limit the capacity of that user’s directory. In Qumulo distributed hybrid file system quotas are deployed immediately and do not have to be provisioned. They are enforced in real time and changes to their capacities are immediately implemented. A side benefit is that quotas assigned to directories move with them and directories themselves can be moved into and out of quota domains. Real-time analytics Qumulo distributed hybrid file system has real-time analytics that tell you what’s happening in your file system now. Analytics is a part of the Qumulo codebase; it is not an afterthought. Instead of running multiple commands, parsing through pages of log files, and running separate programs, an administrator can simply look at the GUI and understand what’s happening. For example, an administrator can immediately see if a process or user is hogging system resources and, in real-time, apply a capacity quota. The Qumulo distributed hybrid file system These features are built on the highly scalable Qumulo file system that, unlike other systems, includes integrated real-time aggregation of file metadata. Qumulo proactive cloud-based monitoring and trends service A Qumulo subscription includes cloud-based monitoring that proactively detects potential problems, such as disk failures. Administrators can also access the Qumulo trends service, which provides historical data about how the system is being used. This information can help lower costs and optimize workflows. Qumulo customer care Qumulo has industry-leading support. Many storage customers are dissatisfied with the support they receive from their vendors. They find them to be unresponsive and reactive rather than proactive. Qumulo offers responsive, personal customer support, with some of the highest Net Promoter Score (NPS) in the industry.
