75% Growth in Billings From 3Q21 to 4Q21 for Qumulo

Qumulo, Inc. announced record growth for FY22 ended January 31, 2022.

It also unveiled Core 5.0, its latest software release.

Firm’s performance resulted in an increase of 75% sequential growth in billings from 3Q21 to 4Q21, demonstrating accelerated momentum driven by customer demand and its best quarter ever in overall billings, software subscription billings, and cloud billings. It also shattered its previous record for annual software subscription billings, and growth in customer adoption – adding over 200 new customers and increasing its customer base by more than 40%. Global organizations from nearly 50 countries and 6 continents rely on the company to store over 2EB, more than double its previous annual record of data under management.
