Helsinki, Finland – October 17, 2018 – Tuxera, the world’s leading storage software and networking technology company, today announced that ClearSky Data is using the Tuxera Server Message Block (SMB) protocol (now Fusion File Share by Tuxera as of 2019) for its on-demand primary storage service with built-in offsite backup and disaster recovery (DR).
