02 / Enterprise file foundation

File services built around business-critical applications and virtual infrastructure.

MoSMB supports enterprise file-service scenarios where application availability, low-latency access, and a familiar SMB3 storage interface are central to the design. Typical examples include SQL Server, Exchange, SharePoint, Hyper-V virtual machines, VHDX files, VDI, and home-directory storage.

Application-ready

File services for business applications that rely on reliable shared-data access.

Virtualization-aware

SMB3 support patterns for Hyper-V VM files, snapshots, VDI, and home directories.

Evaluation-led

Start with your file paths, workloads, availability needs, and operating model.

Architecture review

Map the file path before you test it.

Bring the workload, current infrastructure, and performance question to an expert discussion.

03 / Compute & data scale

Turn shared data access into a more deliberate part of the compute path.

HPC and AI environments introduce high-performance I/O and scaling requirements that can make storage and access patterns central to the outcome. MoSMB’s cluster-oriented architecture provides network file services across multiple nodes and parallel paths, while Hadoop deployments can use SMB3 access to HDFS.

Answer-ready context

For HPC, AI, and big-data teams, the meaningful question is how shared file access, protocol features, topology, and test conditions support the workload’s data path.

04 / Storage economics

P.04 / P.08Maintain the file interface where teams need it.Hybrid & object route

Keep the file-system experience where it matters, while planning for object-storage scale.

MoSMB can be deployed as an SMB object-storage gateway through pluggable object-storage drivers. This is relevant for organizations that want conventional file-system functions while considering the scale, ease of use, or cost advantages of object storage.

05 / Media throughput

When a single file stream needs more headroom, make the network path part of the workflow.

For compatible SMB3 multi-channel workflows, MoSMB can load-balance a single SMB stream over multiple 10/25/40GbE network connections. This supports a more deliberate approach to high-bandwidth acquisition and production workloads.
