    Lenovo
    This is suitable for a mid-to-large scale environment. It requires fiber switch access and fast fiber uplinks to your network, but the ease of management is worth the cost. Once the INFINIDAT engineers completed the initial install, it has been a completely hands-off approach and it just works - and works flawlessly.

    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

    • 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.

    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.

    GUI is much more user friendly and is not buggy. They ship the INFINIDAT with additional hard disk space, more than what you purchased, and you can unlock those drives for an emergency if needed, without even a charge. If you need it permanently there is an extra cost, but to be able to expand so quickly provides peace of mind.

    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.

    • 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.
