@Ke_Wei_Tan If you’re relying on Samba when you have GridFS you’re wasting resources…
If you’re trying to sell GridFS via MongoDB, going by your points in order:
-
You don’t need to use other services or servers when it’s all self-contained in MongoDBs GridFS. This means there’s a lot less power needing to be used vs making other fileserver like Samba.
-
It connects to all MongoDB infrastructure organically, meaning you don’t need to be concerned about additional SDN or other networking solutions to implement.
-
Access to data and speed of data being already able to store large files etc, this makes it very efficient organically.
-
Authorization and authentication control integrations, as well as at rest encryptions paired with in transit encryptions all come together by default, so there’s a lot less work involved securing data going to and from, and in GridFS.
