    If your organization has a lot of archival data that it needs to be backed up for safekeeping, where it won't be touched except in a dire emergency, Amazon Glacier is perfect. In our case, we had a client that generates many TB of video and photo data at annual events and wanted to retain ALL of it, pre- and post- edit for potential use in a future museum. Using the Snowball device, we were able to move hundreds of TB of existing media data that was previously housed on multiple Thunderbolt drives, external RAIDs, etc, in an organized manner, to Amazon Glacier. Then, we were able to setup CloudBerry Backup on their production computers to continually backup any new media that they generated during their annual events.

    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

    Cons
    Amazon AWS
    • Sometime due to slow drives there are operation failure noticed by us in testing
    • Cost of restoring data is high and if you have regular restoring them it is not good option and slow as well.
    • While we were setting up the system we took some support from AWS and in many cases their answers were not up to the mark.

    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.

    Usability
    Amazon AWS
    It is difficult to delete the data as you have to wait for inventory and then bucket modification has to expire.

    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.

    Since the rest of our infrastructure is in Amazon AWS, coding for sending data to Glacier just makes sense. The others are great as well, for their specific needs and uses, but having *another* third-party software to manage, be billed for, and learn/utilize can be costly in money and time.

    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
    Amazon AWS
    • We seldom need to access our data in Glacier; this means that it is a fraction of the cost of S3, including the infrequent-access storage class.
    • Transitioning data to Glacier is managed by AWS. We don't need our engineers to build or maintain log pipelines.
    • Configuring lifecycle policies for S3 and Glacier is simple; it takes our engineers very little time, and there is little risk of errant configuration.

    • 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.
