Qumulo Expands Presence to AsiaPac

Qumulo, Inc. announced the expansion of its global operations to AsiaPac.

Driven by increased demand in Australia, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand and Singapore, Qumulo also announced an expansion of its partnership with Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LP (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, People’s Majlis. “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 9 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 AsiaPac 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, M&E, and research computing.

“Our decision to expand to the AsiaPac 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, Qumulo. “Together with HPE, Qumulo is rapidly transforming the way customers manage their file data at scale by offering them a simple way to modernize their infrastructure through the power of software and the cloud.“

Qumulo and HPE have a long-standing partnership. Since 2017, the 2 organizations have worked together to offer a file data platform to more than 100 countries WW. They are further expanding their partnership to provide organizations in AsiaPac file data management simplicity by combining Qumulo’s NVMe-optimized data platform software with HPE Proliant servers.

Together, the two companies are able to deliver a simpler way to deploy files at scale, with performance and security. Customers in AsiaPac can 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, GM, storage sales AsiaPac, 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 1PB of file data, Qumulo customers create over one billion files and perform over 200 billion operations each day, 90% of which take less than 1ms to execute. The heightened demand was further reflected in the company’s record net promoter score (NPS) of 91 for customer satisfaction in 4FQ21.

Valued at more than $1.2 billion, the firm is focused on global growth and 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 2 mega trends impacting IT: the digitalization of our world and the advent of cloud computing. Introducing solutions creates opportunities for both private and public sectors in AsiaPac 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, IDC.
