Hi Micheal,

Did you check the Windows PerfMon for performance issues, heavy paging or 
memory problems.
Any processes with high mem deltas? I'm suspecting OS performance here.

Do you share (CIFS) the AFTD so Storage Nodes (either full or dedicated) can 
write 
directly to the AFDT? 
It sounds very much like it, and if you have a lot of clients streaming 
concurrently, 
while at possibly the same time you're pushing as much bits as you can towards 
the 
LTO-4 drives (they need roughly 100MB/s). I'm just wondering if your server is 
just way
too busy handling the load to do other things...

Thanks in advance, best regards,
Alexander
