Qumulo

Qumulo is an enterprise data platform company that delivers a single, unified file and object storage system spanning on-premises data centers, the edge, and the public cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP) at exabyte scale.

The platform targets data-intensive workloads such as AI/ML, high-performance computing, media and entertainment, genomics, and enterprise backup, giving organizations a global namespace and real-time analytics across their unstructured data.
