Qumulo Integrates HGST 10TB HDDs

Into scale-out NAS solutions

Qumulo, Inc., in data-aware scale-out NAS, has selected HGST, a Western Digital Corporation, as its key supplier for providing HDDs for its QC-series hybrid storage appliances.

This relationship underscores how the company’s product, Qumulo Core, is designed to follow the commodity curve and add support for the latest storage technologies. In addition, Qumulo also announced the availability of Qumulo Core 2.0 and three new QC-Series hybrid storage appliances, the QC40, QC104, and QC260.

Qumulo Core software is hardware independent, which allows us to quickly incorporate the latest technologies as they become available,” said Brett Goodwin, VP marketing, Qumulo. “This is highlighted by our ability to be first to market with HGST?s new 10TB Ultrastar He10 drives.”

The Ultrastar He10 HDD provides a combination of density, efficiency and performance for large scale unstructured data and is a building block to addressing growing data needs. Storage systems utilizing the 10TB drives will be key enablers of video, photo, business and other cloud-based applications, and will be a cornerstone for future public and private cloud deployments.

Benefits of including the HGST Ultrastar He10 HDD
in QC-Series hybrid storage appliances include:

  • Innovation: Core is hardware independent and enables the adoption of technology as soon as it’s available in the marketplace. The 10TB He10 drives are the highest capacity drives available on the market and are available in the QC40 and QC260 hybrid storage appliances.
  • Price/Performance: Combining 10TB HDDs with flash gives Qumulo users the best price/performance for commercial HPC and large scale unstructured data environments.
  • Efficiency: Ultrastar 10TB He10 drives help address the need for higher capacity, higher density, higher reliability and lower power consuming storage racks in enterprise datacenters.

HGST has a reputation for HDD product quality and reliability. This is our third-generation HelioSeal drive and we are honored that Qumulo chose our solution,” said Brendan Collins, VP marketing, HGST. “Qumulo’s deep customer commitment and unique technology vision make them an ideal customer for our HGST drives in helping store and protect the world’s data. We are excited to be working with them to bring this data-aware storage solution to the masses.”

Qumulo Core builds real-time data analytics directly into storage, giving enterprises a view of their data and storage resources at scale. With greater visibility into which data is most valuable, where it is stored, which users or applications are accessing what files, what should be archived, backed up or deleted, and why data grows, Qumulo’s customers report gains in workflow performance and storage efficiency.

The Ultrastar He10 HDDs are shipping in the QC-Series appliances – the QC40 and QC260 – with Core 2.0 data-aware scale-out NAS software. Core 2.0 is available and the QC40, QC104 and QC260 appliances will be available later in Q2. Pricing for an entry 4-node QC24 cluster running Core 2.0 starts at $50,000.
