Qumulo today announced its latest relentless software innovation delivers intelligent performance capabilities that are transforming the media and entertainment industry, lowering the economics of video editing, visual effects and video distribution. New machine learning capabilities ensure that editors can effortlessly access uncompressed 4K with hybrid storage and 6K video using all-flash NVMe storage. Qumulo storage solutions are delivering industry-leading performance for the most demanding workloads, enabling customers to take advantage of the public cloud with the same file system.

These new performance capabilities liberate film and video production studios from the limitations of legacy storage networks. With such high-performance centralized uncompressed 4K and 6K video playback solutions, studios can eliminate costly SANs, client-side software, HBAs and fibre channel switches and cabling, allowing Qumulo to enable the transition to 100 percent ethernet environments with all-flash storage. This increases the number of editors that can be supported, while fostering more effective collaboration and decreasing overall costs.
