Multi-Protocol File Access
Simultaneous SMB, NFS and REST API access from any operating system. Every workstation, render node and cloud instance hits the same namespace without protocol conversion.
About Qumulo File StorageAll Qumulo products
What it is, and why teams use it.
What Qumulo File Storage is
Scalable enterprise file storage built for media pipelines, render farms and AI workloads. Sized in terabytes, scaled to exabytes. Qumulo delivers enterprise-scale file storage with a focus on the use cases where traditional NAS falls short: massive media pipelines, high-throughput render farms, and AI/ML training datasets that demand simultaneous access from hundreds of compute nodes.
Its real-time analytics dashboard shows administrators what data exists, who is accessing it and how performance is trending. That means proactive management rather than reactive troubleshooting. Qumulo runs on commodity hardware on-premises or natively in AWS and Azure.
Where it fits
Storm FX supplies Qumulo File Storage to media & entertainment teams across Australia and New Zealand. We'll talk through licensing, hardware and pipeline fit before you commit.

Key features
What Qumulo File Storage brings.
Real-Time Analytics
Live dashboards show file system performance, capacity utilisation, and access patterns down to the individual file and user. Issues get managed before they affect production.
Hybrid Cloud Architecture
Extend on-premises storage capacity to AWS or Azure, with unified namespace management across cloud and on-prem. Burst rendering and remote collaboration follow without the usual complexity.
Continuous Replication
Replicate data continuously to a secondary site or cloud target, providing disaster recovery with near-zero recovery point objectives for mission-critical production data.
Scale-Out Performance
Add storage nodes to increase capacity and throughput at the same time. Performance scales linearly with each addition, unlike traditional SAN and NAS architectures.
NFSoTCP & High-Throughput Rendering
Optimised NFS implementation sustains the high-throughput, high-concurrency workloads render farms impose. Thousands of render nodes read and write simultaneously without contention.
Use cases
How it plays out in practice.
VFX & Animation Studios: Render Farm Storage
Major VFX studios use Qumulo as the primary storage layer for render farms, valuing its ability to sustain consistent throughput when hundreds of render nodes simultaneously access the same frame data and asset libraries.
Broadcast & Media Production
Broadcasters with 24/7 production schedules rely on Qumulo's continuous replication and instant failover to maintain production continuity even during hardware maintenance or unexpected failures.
AI/ML Training Data Management
Data science and AI teams use Qumulo's high-throughput NFS to feed GPU training clusters with the continuous data streams that machine learning model training demands, without storage becoming the bottleneck.
