Re: High-performance way for access Windows of users to Ceph.

I’m not sure how stable that ceph dokan is, I would imagine the best way to present ceph-fs to windows users would be through samba.

Hello,

I continue to design high-performance cluster Ceph, petascale.

Scheduled to purchase a high-performance server, OS Windows 2016, for  clients. Clients are in the Dockers.
https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/windows/
Virtualization. It does not matter...

 Clients run program written by them, which generates files of various sizes - from 1 KB to 200 GB (yes, creepy single file size). Network planning to use Infiniband 40 GB/s between clients and Ceph. Clients work with Ceph always on one,  and always only either for record or for reading.

While I do not understand what Ceph technology is appropriate to use? Object, block, or file storage CephFS.
So far, it seems to me, i need to use MDS, CephFS and ceph-dokan

Please share the experience of how it is possible to provide access with minimal overhead (preferably zero :(  ) Windows Ceph users to the server?
 Ie  how to make sure that the files generated by the program on Windows very quickly proved to Ceph.
