The ability to do inline compression during data transfers using the SMB protocol will substantially alleviate these challenges. This is especially challenging for organizations or hosting-solution vendors that transfer data over long distances with many remote locations and in potentially high-latency conditions. Remote working, data-driven applications with huge volumes of data, and the growing use of virtualization technologies are all placing enormous demands on networks around the globe. Migrating or copying large or many files over networks, including virtual private networks (VPNs), can place serious strains on network performance, cause bottlenecks, and take valuable time to wait for the transfers to complete. SMB is a ubiquitously used protocol for sharing files over a network. Remote working, virtualization, and large datasets burden networks However, Tuxera is the first to implement SMB compression outside of Microsoft Windows, bringing this highly in-demand feature to Linux environments in enterprises around the world.įusion File Share SMB by Tuxera featuring SMB compression Microsoft released the transparent compression feature to their SMB protocol specification in early 2019. The ability to compress files inline during transfer can significantly reduce bandwidth and transfer time.
Compression is being rapidly and widely adopted in the storage industry as a feature in memory hardware, file system implementations, and also networking protocols such as Microsoft's server messaging block technology (SMB). 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - Tuxera, a world-leader in quality-assured storage management and networking software, announced that the company's SMB server implementation, Fusion File Share by Tuxera, now offers transparent compression to platforms outside of Microsoft Windows.
The new feature enables enterprises and storage-hosting providers to transfer files over networks with far greater speed, throughput, and less time than before.
