Google Cloud Next UK: Qumulo in Partnership With Systems Integrator Appsbroker

Qumulo, Inc. is partnering with systems integrator Appsbroker Ltd, a Google Cloud-only practice in Europe, to provide enterprises with scalable file storage in the cloud.

The Qumulo file system enables the shift of workflows to the cloud without refactoring applications to write to new interfaces. With SMB and NFS interfaces available, users can access and share data in the cloud across different applications and OSs.

The two companies participated in the Google Cloud Next ’19 UK conference in London, UK, where Qumulo demonstrated its cloud-native distributed file.

In addition to services such as dedicated consulting, data analytics and application development, Appsbroker offers its customers the Extreme Cloud Centre of Excellence (ECCoE), a testbed for running high-performance and high-throughput computing (HPC/HTC) workloads in the cloud.

“Qumulo’s file system allows organisations of any size to effortlessly move file-based applications and workloads into the public cloud,” said Geoff Newell, technical director, Appsbroker. “Through this partnership with Qumulo, our customers across the UK can easily and seamlessly harness the benefits of the cloud for elastic compute which is critical for organisations with high-performance computing needs.“

Qumulo’s file storage system is configurable to support a range compute-intensive workloads such as data analytics, AI and genomic sequencing. The software provides real-time data analytics to enable administrators to save time and money while increasing performance of their unstructured data projects. With a set of enterprise features including directory-based capacity quotas, replication, snapshots and an API to enable showback, it gives enterprises a path to the cloud without while adhering to IT data management policies. Data can be moved between clusters in data centers onprem and within Qumulo cloud clusters with continuous replication.

“Appsbroker provides Europe’s largest team of Google Cloud Platform experts with the experience and expertise to help us further our mission of enabling enterprises to unleash the power of their file data as workloads scale-across on-prem and the cloud,” said Molly Presley, global product marketing director, Qumulo. “We look forward to this partnership and to working together to help bring the power of Google Cloud to organisations across the region.”
