Qumulo Launches Cloud Now Program

Qumulo, Inc. unveiled Cloud Now, a program that offers cloud builders the ability to create and test up to 1PB of multi-cloud file storage at no cost*.

As a multi-cloud file platform able to run massive data workloads with simplicity, the firm designed its Cloud Now Program to eliminate barriers to unstructured data storage in the cloud while speeding time to deployment. Customers can now build a PoC at scale with no licensing costs, no underlying cloud storage infrastructure costs, and a white-glove deployment experience.

Business decision makers, and the cloud architects that support them, are already turning to the cloud to scale rapidly. Recent macroeconomic challenges, such as supply chain delays and labor shortages, have accelerated cloud adoption. According to recent independent analyst reports, organizations are increasing annual cloud spending by 20.7% through 2025, and more than 40% of enterprises surveyed are moving workloads to the cloud to mitigate supply chain disruption.

“Today’s enterprises need to manage their data and keep their business moving forward. We believe every business should experience the benefits of cloud, which is why we are offering to build proof of concept environments for our customers free of charge in the cloud of their choice,” said Bill Richter, CEO. “The Cloud Now Program removes concerns of cost and infrastructure lock-in – something legacy vendors simply can’t do.”

As a multi-cloud provider that runs on AWS, GCP, and Azure infrastructure at massive scale, the vendor gives customers the ability to manage massive amounts of unstructured data, regardless of which cloud it is in, for instant freedom and flexibility. Customers frequently turn Qumulo PoCs into production workloads and with Cloud Now, have a free cloud storage environment to run real-world production workloads with confidence.

As a software defined, multi-cloud unstructured data solution, the company runs in data centers, private clouds and all 3 major public clouds. Deploying this single software stack across on-prem and the public cloud reduces complexity with a single management experience wherever a customer’s data resides. The form also offers the same customer support experience across all deployments.

Cloud Now Program:
• Offers Cloud Q licensing and underlying storage infrastructure free of charge across supported clouds including Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, and the Google Cloud Platform;
• Gives customers peace of mind by allowing them to build solutions across any supported cloud in production before purchasing services;
• Allows customers to deploy projects now with cloud services ready at their fingertips, avoiding lengthy supply chain delays for infrastructure hardware;
• Provides deployment support of the customer’s workload for a white glove deployment experience;
• Affords customers the ability to test and receive immediate value from their cloud strategy with firm’s support throughout the duration of the program.
