Real-World Use Cases: MoSMB Active-Active Scale-Out Cluster
MoSMB’s Active-Active clustering is a game changer—it has broad use cases across verticals requiring high availability, scalability, performance, and secure data access.
🎬 1. Film, VFX & Animation
Studios collaborating on 4K/8K VFX, compositing, and animation pipelines can rely on uninterrupted access to large footage across global teams. MoSMB clusters deliver wire-speed SMB access, transparent failover during node maintenance, and predictable performance for rendering farms.
✈️ 2. Aerospace, Automotive & Engineering
Complex design files (CAD, simulations, digital twins) can be accessed and edited simultaneously by engineering teams. MoSMB ensures consistent SMB access across cluster nodes—supporting continuous collaboration even under peak compute operations or maintenance windows.
🧬 3. Life Sciences & Healthcare
High-throughput genomic sequencing, medical imaging, and multi-terabyte experimental datasets can benefit from MoSMB’s ability to serve multiple compute workloads in parallel with very low latency. The cluster architecture ensures secure, round-the-clock access to data-intensive pipelines.
🤖 4. AI/ML & High-Performance Compute
AI training and inference workflows require rapid access to large media datasets and feature stores. MoSMB’s RDMA-backed SMB Direct performance and active-active access can eliminate storage bottlenecks and avoid CPU contention.
💳 5. Financial Services & Regulatory Workloads
Banks and trading firms process tremendous amounts of data for risk analytics, compliance reporting, and audit workflows. MoSMB clusters can help maintain performance across compute nodes and geographic locations, ensuring resilient storage with consistent SMB access—even during failovers.
☁️ 6. Cloud Service Providers & Managed Hosting
MoSMB plays a key role in hybrid and multi-cloud storage fabrics. It abstracts file-level access across clouds, enabling seamless data access—even during provider outages. For example: broadcasters can use MoSMB to edit global media files across multi-cloud infrastructure without dataset migrations. Similarly, telecommunications providers access operational and customer logs stored across clouds seamlessly via SMB.
🏢 7. Large Enterprise File Shares
Large corporates can rely on MoSMB to consolidate file shares across continents. The active-active cluster ensures high availability across sites, scales bandwidth for concurrently serving thousands of users, and supports online filesystem maintenance without downtime.
🏛️ 8. Government & Defence
Secure, mission-critical infrastructures for government agencies and defense organizations require high availability, auditability, and fail-safety. MoSMB clusters support distributed teams with uninterrupted data access—even in case of node-level or site-level disruptions—to align with strict security and continuity mandates.
