Fusion File Share

What is Fusion File Share?

Fusion File Share is a high-performance substitute for open source Samba and other SMB/CIFS servers. It supports Microsoft's Server Message Block (SMB) protocol for enterprise-level Network Attached Storage (NAS).

A scalable, high-performance SMB server

With its modular and chained design, cutting-edge deployment in kernel space increases I/O throughput, reduces CPU usage, takes up little memory space, and allows quick and easy handling of multiple simultaneous connections to shared resources.

Easy integration with Windows environments

With Windows Legacy/ACL support, Fusion File Share seamlessly integrates with Active Directory (authenticate with KDC), and works in the Forest and trusted domains.

Extensive support for the SMB protocol

Fusion File Share supports SMB 3.1.1 and earlier versions (1.0, 2.0, 2.1). It works reliably with all SMB/CIFS protocols to ensure interoperability of file sharing on any network. Comprehensive support for features including pre-authentication integrity, persistent identifiers, DFS support, VFS stacking, RDMA SMB, Multichannel SMB, shadow copy, and more.

High availability

Fusion File Share can be deployed in Active-Passive mode on distributed file system clients to provide high availability and transparent failover of connections.

Secure and simplified data management

Fusion File Share provides capacity planning and management through quota support, as well as user auditing and access log support, as well as dynamic sharing configuration - no reboot required. In addition, multiple authentication providers such as Windows AD (Kerberos), Lightweight Directory Access (LDAP), NTLM, user databases, and local file-based groups, and more are supported.

Optimized for Mac customers

Through rigorous testing, Fusion File Share ensures seamless performance and interoperability with the latest file access protocols used by Mac customers.

User-friendly configuration UI

The graphical user interface (GUI) allows you to intuitively set global and sharing settings and options available in the Fusion File Share configuration utility. In the user interface, you can also start Fusion File Share, configure it dynamically during runtime, read/download logs, and more.
