• Enterprise-proven scale-out file data platform

User files can occupy 100% of provisioned capacity without performance or management issues. Data protection including erasure coding, replication, snapshots, and software encryption, enable a reprotect time in the industry. The auditing capability is simple to configure. Cross-Protocol Permissions (XPP) seamlessly manages SMB and POSIX permissions, preserving access control list (ACL) inheritance for worry-free collaboration across protocols and client OSs. XPP is fully automatic and requires no configuration.

• Scaling on-premises and in hybrid cloud environments

Store data anywhere and get multiple GB/s of performance for workloads both on- and off-premises. Cloud continuity replication policies move the data where it is needed providing operating across storage clusters, whether on-premises or in the cloud. Qumulo automatically keeps data consistent. Customers can use the cloud when they need it. With Qumulo Shift for Amazon S3, Customers can copy their data to native S3 to leverage applications, as well as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) capabilities, hosted in the cloud. Amazon S3 enables easy collaboration around the world. Freely move data between on-premises and native cloud in AWS and Google Cloud™ without file conversion or rewriting apps because the same Qumulo platform runs natively in both.

• Real-time visibility and control of Customers’ storage infrastructure

Real-time analytics allows admins to pinpoint problems and control how storage is used while providing visibility into storage capacity usage patterns by IP address or directory path. Instantly see usage, activity, and throughput at any level of the unified directory structure, no matter how large or how active the system is, whether Qumulo is running on-premises or in the cloud. Easily identify problem areas and hot spots and optimize workload distribution across the file system. Leverage real-time information via analytics to set quotas in real-time. Directory-based capacity quotas give administrators instant control over storage allocation. Capacity quotas can be applied to any directory, even nested ones. Moving a directory with a quota is easy. Automate everything, eliminating redundant tasks. The RESTful API enables Customers to programmatically configure infrastructure, eliminate administrative tasks, and automate IT management.

• Ultra-dense and secure storage server

HPE Solutions for Qumulo are built using HPE Apollo and HPE ProLiant servers. These are built with an architecture optimized for software-defined storage. Its allows Customers to save data center space through a standard rack depth chassis. HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen10 Plus servers are all-NVMe nodes, built on the 2nd Generation AMD EPYC 7402 series processor family with 24 cores and HPE SmartMemory up to 3200 MT/s DDR4 memory. HPE Apollo 4200 servers are an SSD-first hybrid architecture that optimizes cost and performance. Customers can simultaneously get the speed benefits of SSD and the economic advantages of HDD. HPE Active Health System is an industry-first technology providing continuous, proactive health monitoring of over 1,600 system parameters with 100% of configuration changes. Cloud-based monitoring proactively detects potential problems including historical trend data about system usage. Silicon root of trust from HPE iLO 5 and the built-in 256-bit AES encryption protects Customers’ systems and data from threats and malicious activities. There is no separate license or anything to manage, and it is switched on by default.

Qumulo system requirements

HPE GreenLake Flex Solution built for Qumulo systems must adhere to the following requirements throughout the System Term: HPE GreenLake Flex Solution built for Qumulo systems must always remain fully licensed.

All system clusters under this data sheet must be configured according to the protection level defined in the sizing spreadsheet in the following, which is determined in collaboration with the Customer based on the selections made in the Qumulo calculator sizing spreadsheet. The protection level and associated encoding level in the cluster will remain fixed for the System Term.

The Customer also understands capacity may only be increased by adding scale-out capacity as set forth through the contract change management process.
