Case Study: Qumulo achieves rapid digital marketing growth with Pantheon’s scalable WordPress platform

Qumulo Adopts Pantheon to Drive Digital Marketing Growth with Highly Scalable WordPress Deployment

Qumulo, a Seattle-based data-storage company serving Fortune 500 and research organizations, outgrew its custom Django/Wagtail CMS, which left its lean marketing team unable to rapidly create pages, run campaigns, or optimize for SEO and conversions. The legacy system required specialized developer support, created bottlenecks for digital initiatives, and prevented the company from scaling its web presence alongside fast business growth.

Qumulo piloted and then migrated its corporate site to WordPress on the Pantheon WebOps platform, using Multidev, Dev‑Test‑Live workflows, premium themes and page builders to enable in-house iteration, collaboration, and maintenance while offloading backups and platform ops. The move produced dramatic results: 1400%+ growth in first‑page keyword rankings, 300%+ organic traffic growth, 400%+ increase in form submissions, reliable handling of 9x traffic spikes, and faster large‑scale content creation and campaign optimization.
