Tuxera Fusion SMB server implementation complements ATTO’s high-performance connectivity solutions to maximize throughput for media professionals
Tuxera, a leading provider of quality-assured file systems and networking solutions, announces a strategic technical partnership with ATTO Technology, a global leader in network and storage connectivity for data-intensive computing environments. The collaboration will enable customers to achieve maximum performance from their network connectivity hardware by optimizing the critical SMB protocol layer with industry-leading Tuxera Fusion file sharing technology.
ATTO Technology has specialized in storage and network connectivity solutions for over 35 years. The company’s comprehensive range of high-performance connectivity products include Fibre Channel and Ethernet adapters, intelligent bridges, and Thunderbolt™ adapters. In the media sector, ATTO has established a strong presence among Mac® users, serving as the leading provider of 100 Gigabit Ethernet cards with dedicated Mac drivers, making their products valuable components in production environments where efficient file transfer is essential.
When ATTO’s network cards are paired with servers running Tuxera Fusion instead of open-source alternatives, customers experience significantly faster data transfers without changing their existing hardware, unlocking the full potential of their storage investments.
“Media workflows continue pushing resolution boundaries higher while collaborative teams need immediate access to these massive files,” said Antti Alila, VP of Enterprise Solutions at Tuxera. “By combining ATTO’s industry-leading network connectivity solutions with our high-performance SMB implementation, we’re removing the protocol bottlenecks that have historically limited throughput, allowing creative professionals to focus on their work instead of waiting for file transfers.”
The partnership includes the development of specialized configuration profiles within ATTO 360™ Tuning Software that optimize network settings specifically for Tuxera Fusion environments. This integration gives users a streamlined way to maximize performance when connecting to storage systems powered by Tuxera’s SMB implementation.
“We’ve found that connecting ATTO network cards to servers running Tuxera Fusion delivers exceptional performance compared to traditional configurations,” said Thomas Johnson, Product Manager at ATTO Technology. “Media professionals using our high-speed network adapters with Fusion-powered storage systems will experience dramatically improved throughput, enabling them to work more efficiently with today’s demanding media formats.”
Testing conducted by ATTO demonstrates that the combination of their network cards with Tuxera Fusion achieves throughput rates that approach the theoretical maximum of network hardware – a significant improvement over configurations using open-source SMB implementations.
At NAB 2025, ATTO will be showcasing their latest connectivity innovations at booth SL5616, while Tuxera will be demonstrating the performance capabilities of Tuxera Fusion at booth SL8624. Representatives from both companies will be available to discuss how this technical partnership addresses the challenges of modern media workflows.
