Summary

Synthlane partnered with Qumulo to enhance and optimize their Cloud Native Qumulo (CNQ) platform, listed on AWS Marketplace. CNQ is a cloud-native, scalable, and high-performance enterprise file data management solution that helps organizations seamlessly migrate, manage, and scale unstructured data workloads in the cloud. The goal was to improve performance, scalability, and cost efficiency while reducing migration complexity and operational overhead.

Challenge

Limited Scalability: Traditional on-premises data centers lacked the flexibility to handle rapidly growing enterprise workloads.
Complex Migration: Transferring petabytes of file data to the cloud was time-consuming, error-prone, and costly.
Performance Bottlenecks: Existing systems faced slow data access speeds and limited multi-protocol compatibility.
High Maintenance Costs: Managing and upgrading physical infrastructure led to high operational expenses and downtime.

Solution

Cloud-Native Architecture on AWS: Designed a modern, scalable infrastructure tailored for Qumulo’s CNQ platform.
Elastic Storage Scaling: Integrated auto-scaling storage to adapt dynamically to fluctuating workloads.
Multi-Protocol Access Support: Enabled NFS, SMB, and S3 access without requiring application-level changes.
Automated Migration Tools: Implemented automated data transfer pipelines for smooth, error-free migration.
Enhanced Security Framework: Deployed AWS-native encryption, identity management, and monitoring for data protection.
