The WorkloadWisdom SMB / CIFS 3.0 Protocol Testing Solution allows storage, development and QA engineers to build complex workloads that represent real product environments, emulating clients or servers acting as clients at high scale.
SMB also known as Common Internet File System (CIFS) operates as an application-layer network protocol mainly used for providing shared access to files and miscellaneous communications between nodes on a network.
WorkloadWisdom supports all SMB versions and dialects including 1.0, 2.002, 2.1, 3.0.x, and 3.1.1 (via TDE) specification.
Figure: The SMB toolkit allows test engineers to use SMB, SMB2 and SMB3 dialects in a single test.
