SEATTLE, WA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/05/14 -- Qumulo, a stealth enterprise data storage company, today announced it has been selected as a finalist for Red Herring's Top 100 North America award, a prestigious list honoring the year's most promising private technology ventures from North America. Finalists were chosen from a pool of hundreds of candidates based on technological innovation, management strength, market size, investor record, customer acquisition and financial health.

"We founded Qumulo with the mission of becoming the company that the world trusts to store, manage, and curate its data, forever," said Peter Godman, CEO of Qumulo. "Over the last year, we've focused on building a stellar engineering team with deep experience addressing the most technically challenging customer pain points in large-scale data storage, and an executive team with a proven track record in bringing disruptive new technologies to market. 2014 will hold many exciting milestones for Qumulo as we build towards our market launch."
