Do you run Nutanix Files? Share your experiences with the broader community, be the first to reply here.

What is the recommendation as far as what type of file server to deploy? Standard or Distributed? I’ve read the Files description and what the differences are but I haven’t come across a definitive guide on use case. I’m struggling with the idea that distributed is best for user data only. Or at least that’s the impression I get. I also was curious about the optimization message, does that happen with both types of share or only distributed?
The other thing I wanted to ask was Planning tool in Prism Central. How or is it possible to play out an addition too or an increase to Nutanix Files. I see how you would add the Files VM or how would you add in the amount of storage?
Thanks in advance
