Does anyone use Openfiler virtual NAS (www.openfiler.com) or SoftNAS (www.softnas.com) with NimbleStorage?
Solved! Go to Solution.

I personally haven't seen these in use, but I use a CentOS image to has NFS in one lab setup, and WIn 12R2 to have SMB and NFS in another lab. CentOS is free and it's been very stable.

Re: Openfiler on NimbleStorage
My only problem using full OS as a File Server is patching.

Re: Openfiler on Nimble Storage
I second Kevin's recommendation - you could run centos or RHEL as vm on esx, to export nfs shares backed by nimble volume. XFS can be used as oppose to ext4 as it provides higher scalability. And vSphere HA provides simple HA for the vm.

Re: Openfiler on Nimble Storage
Hi Alex,
I would say try them both and see which one you prefer. In terms of compatibility, there should be no issue since they are virtual appliances. How many users will you be serving and how much data are you hosting?
