Yep it looks like but unfortunately our setup is a bit complicated.

A group of 15 Centos systems running tasks on instruments.
Experiments results are saved in a local folder on each machines.

We need then to have a centralized place for our users where they can 
get their files using a smb share and also via sftp.

Clients are running windows, linux, mac computers.
