VAST for SMB heavy Enterprise NAS solution?

[J C]

Hi,

We are considering VAST as our potential SMB heavy NAS file share storage solution (about 10PB) with some mixed protocol of SMB/NFS.

Is there anyone out there who is using their VAST mostly for their SMB files who can give some feedback?

Any gotchas?  Is this a good solution for this use case? Why or why not?  If not, what would you use instead?

Thanks,

JC
