    FreeBSD is an excellent choice to continue using older hardware and have it perform, it is a great choice for a UNIX based development environment. Although I haven't used it as a server, it is most suited for this - it would make an excellent, secure and robust server for and I would love to start using it for this as well.

    Qumulo
    Qumulo is great for media and entertainment companies, that need simple and easy management of a NAS. The product can also scale and be sized to larger shops too. The support that comes with it also can act as an extension of internal IT. Their support is always watching the box when it phones home with hardware errors or if it would go offline. Qumulo is not initially set up well-running virtual workloads, while Vmware supports NFS, some settings need to be adjusted on Qumulo to allow for upgrades to happen while virtual machines are running

    Qumulo
    • Admin users are not able to be tied to SSO or LDAP accounts.
    • At the start there was no RBAC but this has since been addressed.
    • While there is incredible analytics, there is no native way to get historical trends by volume or user.

    Qumulo
    Their Slack-based support is like nothing I have experienced. They are fast, helpful, and willing to go the extra mile, even when an issue is not clearly their's to solve. They are committed to your success. The engineers on the Slack channel are oftentimes the engineers that programmed the very same feature you are asking questions about or having issues with.

    FreeBSD is the closest to the original BSD unix. This OS is currently used by vendors in the field of routing, switching, security as well as base OS for MAC devies.

    Qumulo
    Qumulo was not the least expensive but we were blown away by support offered and pre-sales support to ensure questions were answered. Our main challenges were mixed end-user platforms and a diverse set of use cases on those end-user computers. Having the dual access to volumes, over NFS and SMB, helps us greatly in this area.

    Return on Investment
    Open Source
    • As FreeBSD is free - the ROI is at least the cost of some commercial Linux or Windows based OS (which can be very expensive)
    • Allowed the re-use of older hardware that would have otherwise been disposed
    • No cost development environment
    • Opportunity for a no cost server setup also

    • Reduced cost in support and upgrade times compared to old fiber San.
    • Allows the Service Desk to focus on other things since permissions and access are simplified.
    • Very easy and bandwidth efficient replication allows us to comply with DR.
