Cloud service providers

Power up your cloud infrastructure with our high-performance, flexible file sharing. Choose our highly scalable, low overhead, container-based file server. Increase tenant density, while decreasing compute resources.

Best-in-class solutions

Scalable solutions for any cloud

Tuxera’s data transfer solutions scale both ways—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 your cloud networking costs. Tuxera Fusion SMB is performant, fast, and secure for all hybrid cloud, private cloud, or public cloud environments.

Key benefits

Reasons to choose Tuxera

Made for today’s containerized workloads, our file systems and data software deliver high availability, high throughput, and low latency. No compromises.

Built for performance

Get enterprise-level speed across Windows, Linux, and Mac with Tuxera Fusion SMB. It's the only modern SMB 3 protocol that performs equally well in mixed environments, making it ideal for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solutions like Azure Virtual Desktop, Amazon WorkSpaces, and Google Virtual Desktop. Your apps run smoother and users stay productive, whether they're connecting to Windows environments or Amazon EC2 Mac instances.

Lowest overhead 

Cut your cloud costs with Tuxera Fusion SMB's efficient design. Unlike Samba, our multi-thread user-mode service doesn't spawn multiple processes. It uses less memory and CPU to free up resources for your application workloads.

Most flexible scale

Whether you're running tiny containers or large 32-node clusters, Tuxera Fusion SMB scales effortlessly with the same protocol. You can adapt Fusion to your cloud workload size without added complexity or performance loss.

Enterprise-grade features

Get the power of Windows Server capabilities in your Linux environment. Tuxera Fusion SMB brings you advanced features like SMB Direct, compression, and support for large clusters that Samba can't match. Unlike Samba, our solution can handle tens of thousands of clients while pushing massive amounts of data throughout your network.
