    Are you using Geodrive? DisXtender? or another front-end file system to talk to Atmos?

    We (Seven10) are a long-time partner of EMC's (10+ yrs, 350 shared customers) and may be able to help provide the scalability with Atmos that you are looking for. StorFirst EAS is a massively scalable CIFS/NFS gateway for all sorts of EMC's backend storage types, Atmos being one of them. We have yet to reach our threshold as far as file/directory counts go, as we can support billions upon billions of objects before you would have to consider standing up another instance of StorFirst EAS.

    Please let me know if a gateway like ours is something you might be interested in. We are also able to help you tier Atmos with other storage types such as NAS (Isilon), CAS (Centera), Tape/VTL (Data Domain, Spectra Logic, etc...).

    Thanks!

    EMC recommends a maximum limit of 64,000 objects that can be created in a

    namespace directory. CIFS/NFS directories would be considered namespace directories.

    Hi dsmith710

    May I know the use cases for a CIFS/NFS gateway?

    Hi there,

    No problem. Our team has engineered a standard CIFS/NFS gateway file system so that integration with front-end applications and back-end storage is simple, easy and clear.

    For those applications that cannot talk to ATMOS REST, they will need a CIFS or NFS presentation to work with the given storage platform (on-premise or off). You also have the flexibility to use our CIFS/NFS gateway file system to tier other storage platforms (NAS, CAS, Tape/VTL, etc) along with file system data movements from legacy storage to new.

    Please let me know if you would like to talk about this solution in more detail.

    All the best,

    Derick
