Igneous and Qumulo enter phase 2 of partnership

Igneous, an emerging player in data management and Qumulo, a leader in file storage, just announced an extension to their partnership in NAS data protection.

It covers essentially Igneous DataProtect - for NAS backup and archives - and DataDiscover - fort fast index and search - and will learn more for DataFlow when it will be ready. With Igneous, Qumulo file servers can be protected by a cloud-based Qumulo instance running on-premises or on AWS or GCP or could be sent directly to AWS, GCP, Azure and even Wasabi.

Does this agreement mean also that Igneous can be sold with Qumulo when Qumulo is sold via Fujitsu and HPE?

The second question is about this reciprocal promotion: Qumulo recommends Igneous for NAS data protection to any cloud and any tier and Igneous recommends Qumulo for NAS backup and archive. Wow Qumulo as a second tier...

What is behind? just a partnership or much more?

We'll learn more during the June IT Press Tour a we got a session with Qumulo.
