Key benefits

Reasons to choose Tuxera

Our SMB protocol software cuts hardware costs and speeds up workflows, giving your creative teams the high performance they need. 

Unmatched throughput

Break through performance barriers with up to 11GB/sec on Windows and 5GB/sec on Mac. Process up to 30,000 simultaneous read/write threads across 32-node clusters with our multi-threaded architecture—perfect for real-time editing of 4K and 8K content when multiple workstations need performance at once.

Flexible deployment

Deploy SMB exactly where you need it, whether on premise, in clusters, containers, or the cloud. Support remote teams, integrate with existing workflows, and scale from single servers to 32-node clusters as your production evolves.

Enterprise security & support 

Protect your content with encryption, access-based enumeration, and directory authentication. Connect seamlessly with Active Directory, the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), and Apple Open Directory for secure deployment. Backed by global support and our unique position as an SMB patent licensee and holder, you can trust us to give you peace of mind.

Resource efficiency 

Use 75% less server resources than open-source alternatives and get better performance from your existing hardware. Avoid buying extra equipment to compensate for Samba's limitations, freeing up your systems to handle other critical media tasks.

USE case examples

What M&E companies can do with Tuxera 

Tuxera Fusion SMB solves the real challenges media & entertainment companies face, whether you’re in post-production, VFX, or broadcasting.

Maximize your existing hardware investment

Media workflows need fast and reliable performance when handling image sequences, raw footage, and project files. Open-source options like Samba often require extra hardware investments to compensate for performance gaps. Tuxera Fusion SMB changes that, delivering significantly better throughput on your existing infrastructure—all without changing the user experience.

Our best product for this use case

Tuxera Fusion SMB

Replace inefficient Samba implementations with our high-performance SMB server that delivers faster throughput for media workflows.

Extend workflows beyond traditional boundaries

As production moves beyond the office, your storage needs to keep up. Unlike Samba, which falls short in virtual machines and cloud environments, our SMB server works perfectly in them. Our advanced SMB compression makes remote collaboration smoother when handling massive media files.

The fastest, award-winning enterprise SMB server.

Support hundreds of simultaneous users

Game development teams with 400+ machines or production setups with 25+ workstations pushing 3–4GB/sec each can overwhelm standard solutions. Our multi-threaded architecture is built for this scale, handling up to 30,000 simultaneous read/write threads while keeping performance smooth for every user.
