SMB Protocol Explained
Apple transformed mobile file management when it introduced native SMB support in iOS 13. iPhone and iPad users can now connect directly to network-attached storage
Network file sharing forms the foundation of modern collaborative computing environments. The Common Internet File System protocol enabled Windows-based networks to share files across distributed
ShareArchiver’s data management engine interacts with various file servers including Nutanix. This interoperability ensures ShareArchiver’s archiving solution works seamlessly across environments where SMB protocol is the only viable option for accessing and migrating data.
Switching from open-source SMB to Visuality Systems’ jNQ, a global pharma leader modernized its Java-based file transfer, achieving enterprise-grade security and long-term support.
By integrating YNQ, a leading CPE manufacturer enabled telco carriers to deliver value-added storage services, now deployed in over 15 million units.
After Seeburger gained some experience with an open source SMB library, a growing customer base demanded a more robust solution. This was the main driver to look for an independent implementation of SMB3 library, like Visuality Systems’ jNQ.
Metrohm chose Visuality Systems to upgrade existing connections from SMB1 to SMB3 with fully supported software libraries, without changing the application.
If your SMB-enabled Java application is still scanning directories to detect changes, you’re likely consuming more resources than necessary. SMB Notify is the right way to track file system updates and it’s supported by jNQ’s Java SMB stack.
Cryptic exceptions and tricky platform differences are common when trying to integrate SMB file sharing into a Java application. What are the most common roadblocks? How can you work around them?
