Product overview
The fastest, award-winning enterprise-grade SMB server
Fusion SMB is for those who want a performant, scalable, secure solution. With Fusion, your customers can access and transfer huge amounts of data reliably across a network, whether on Linux, MacOS, or Windows. Fusion eliminates data transfer bottlenecks and slashes waiting times. Quickly scale to meet as many access requests as the hardware can handle. We also have a patent agreement with Microsoft, which means Fusion SMB is safe to use without the worry of legal repercussions, unlike with open source alternatives such as Samba. The cherry on top is our flexible support plans to keep things up-to-date and running smoothly.

Fusion SMB offers capabilities that Samba can’t match, including SMB Direct (RDMA) support, SMB compression, significantly higher performance, and more efficient resource usage. Fusion SMB also offers features like scale-out clusters—supporting up to 32 nodes compared to Samba’s 4-node limit—using transparent failover and continuous availability to make sure the data is always correct and available despite unexpected downtime or interruptions. Tuxera offers comprehensive technical support, and our team of in-house developers are actively developing Fusion.
Handling large data across networked storage brings unique challenges, including massive file sizes, complex unstructured data, and cross-platform requirements. Fusion SMB is optimized specifically for these demands. With the fastest performance benchmarks in the industry, Fusion SMB is the ideal choice for data-heavy workloads. Our in-house developers are constantly developing the product and pushing it to do more. We also offer world-class technical support to make sure the product is working as intended. You simply cannot get that with open source.
Today’s SMB protocol is dramatically different than earlier versions. Modern 3 includes built-in security with encryption and strong authentication, plus performance features like RDMA and compression. Fusion SMB gives you all these capabilities with extra security enhancements, keeping your data safe even in the most security-sensitive environments. Additionally, Fusion SMB is lightning fast and highly performant. It scales from the largest scale-out clusters with up to 32-nodes to the smallest containers with minimal footprint. Perfect for modern container microservices with Docker and Kubernetes, our technology delivers fast, secure transfers while our SMB compression reduces networking costs.
