Pre-Sales Training Track
Audience
This track is designed for partner solution engineers and solution architects responsible for technical evaluation and qualification of Tuxera Fusion SMB opportunities.
Learning Objectives
After completing this track, you will be able to:
- Explain Fusion SMB's technical architecture — describe the multi-threaded SMB stack, supported protocols (SMB2 through SMB 3.1.1), and how it integrates with Linux environments.
- Set up a demo environment — install, configure, and demonstrate Fusion SMB to a prospect in under an hour using the quickstart guide.
- Qualify a prospect — work the tiered compatibility gates to clear a deal or surface an escalation before engineering time is committed.
PoC design, clustering architecture, sizing and the technical FAQ have moved to the Deployment Training Track.
Prerequisites
- Hands-on Linux system administration experience (package management, systemd, file systems)
- Familiarity with SMB/CIFS protocol concepts and Windows networking
- Understanding of Active Directory, Kerberos, and LDAP fundamentals
- Access to a Linux server and Windows client for lab exercises
- Completion of the Sales Training Track is recommended but not required
