Tuxera Brings Media-Optimised SMB Technology To NAB Show

News Image
Tuxera is to showcase how Tuxera Fusion SMB enables unprecedented performance for media workflows at NAB 2025.

As the media industry pushes resolution and quality boundaries ever higher, traditional file sharing approaches are reaching their limits. Tuxera Fusion addresses these challenges by delivering optimised SMB performance that unlocks the full potential of storage hardware – whether deployed as a single server, in clusters, containers, or cloud environments.

"Content creators shouldn't have to compromise on resolution or client numbers due to file sharing bottlenecks," said Antti Alila, VP of Enterprise Solutions at Tuxera. "Tuxera Fusion SMB delivers up to 5GB/sec throughput for Mac clients and 11GB/sec for Windows, enabling creative teams to work seamlessly with demanding formats while maintaining complete data integrity."

The company has recently strengthened its enterprise team with two industry veterans: Ned Pyle, Enterprise Storage Technical Officer and former Microsoft SMB architect, and Duncan Beattie, Market Development Manager, bringing decades of combined protocol expertise. "Fusion is the only Linux-based SMB server that really competes with the SMB protocol originator at Microsoft," notes Pyle. "Its multi-threaded architecture and dedicated MacOS optimization make it ideal for media workflows."

At NAB, Tuxera will showcase real-world performance capabilities through live demonstrations with CheetahRAID storage hardware, highlighting the exceptional transfer speeds that set Tuxera Fusion apart. Visitors will be able to see firsthand how the software achieves its industry-leading throughput rates.

Tuxera Fusion SMB brings comprehensive protocol compliance, compression, multichannel support, and RDMA capabilities to Linux-based storage solutions. Its advanced features include transparent failover and active-active scale-out clusters, backed by Tuxera's commercial partnership with Microsoft. The software is already deployed inside solutions from industry leaders including Quantum, IBM, pixitmedia, and other storage technology providers, enabling high-performance file sharing for broadcast, post-production, and content delivery workflows.

Tuxera invites NAB 2025 attendees to experience how Tuxera Fusion SMB transforms media production capabilities, removing traditional SMB bottlenecks to unlock the full potential of storage hardware. Through dynamic scaling and multi-threaded connections, media operations can now achieve the performance, flexibility, and reliability their workflows demand. Visit Booth SL8624 to discover the next generation of media-optimised file sharing.
