When it comes to challenges faced by today’s IT organizations, there are few as universal as data management. In the last two decades, the volume of data that enterprises are expected to utilize, secure, and manage has increased exponentially. The location of that data has also changed, with much of it moving to the cloud or hybrid environments.
Raising the stakes even further, the value of data has increased as well. An enterprise that isn’t making use of the data it has, isn’t securing it properly, or isn’t ensuring users have access to the data they need to be productive will fail.
To stay on top of this constant flow of data, enterprises require a solution that can offer the support for not only the volume of data, but also differing file types, data locations, applications, and workloads.
In this two-part series, we’ll discuss the top 8 reasons Qumulo should be a part of your cloud strategy. This first article will share our first four reasons. (Read part 2 here.)

The cycle, as broken down by Qumulo, is as follows:
- Capture – The data is first captured by the enterprise
- Interact – The data begins to be interacted with by users at the enterprise
- Transform – The data is utilized and transformed for use by the enterprise
- Publish – The data is published for consumption by the enterprises target audience
- Archive – After running its initial course, the data is archived for later use or reference
