The only commercial Java solution providing full SMB3 support
jNQ is a best-in-breed replacement for the JCIFS library when SMB2 and SMB3 are required. The only commercial Java solution providing SMB3.1.1 support, jNQ supports Oracle’s Java, OpenJDK, and IBM’s Java. jNQ brings SMB file and data sharing capabilities to any Java application based on Java 1.8 platform or higher. jNQ also uniquely ships with SMB Microsoft Patents under license agreement with Microsoft, protecting users from patent exposure risk, and foregoing the need to contact Microsoft for SMB IP rights.
NQ Storage is a commercial, high-performance SMB stack offering flexible integration for both standalone NAS and high-end data centers. NQ Storage uses thread pools, internal memory management, zero copy for payloads of read and write operations, and server-side operations such as file copying, zeroing, and remapping to minimize network traffic. Boosting performance when used with advanced apps such as Hyper-V and SQL Server, NQ Storage is compliant with Microsoft SMB2 and SMB3 specifications.
We handle the complexities of network, file and storage protocols so you can focus on your core business. Our customers trust us for eight strengths that shape our solutions and support.
Collaborating with industry leaders to deliver the best SMB, NFS and cloud storage integrations for our customers.
Visuality Systems collaborates with the Microsoft SMB team by improving connectivity between non-windows operating systems and the Native Microsoft SMB.
Nutanix and Visuality Systems collaborate closely for seamless interoperability and periodic checks between the NQ client library and the Nutanix Unified Storage.
Bringing Microsoft world to Java, storage & embedded systems
Visuality Systems is a leading global developer and provider of Server Message Block ( SMB) and multi-protocol solutions for over two decades.
We provide a unified multi-protocol API and robust, secure, flexible Microsoft SMB client and server solutions for embedded products, Java applications, and storage systems.
All Visuality Systems products undergo extensive quality assurance, are fully compatible with all operating systems, and are in compliance with Microsoft’s SMB IP. Serving over 200 global blue-chip customers, Visuality System customers benefit from 24/7 professional support from experienced SMB engineers.
While HTTP and FTP can handle file transfers between devices, they do not provide the advanced file-sharing capabilities needed for collaboration. The SMB protocol allows for remote file sharing, enabling multiple devices to work together and share documents seamlessly across any network. By using SMB, you avoid the need to transfer files between devices, reducing storage demands and speeding up response times. In addition to file sharing, SMB can also query system information from the OS using RPC messages, making it a versatile choice for network communication.
Do Visuality Systems solutions include any open-source code?
No, all Visuality Systems solutions are developed entirely in-house from the ground up, without incorporating any open-source components. This ensures full control over the codebase and eliminates reliance on third-party open-source software.
Do your products support Kerberos authentication?
Yes, Visuality Systems products fully support Kerberos authentication, providing a secure and efficient method for user authentication in Active Directory environments.

YNQ
What is YNQ?
YNQ is a CIFS/SMB file-sharing middleware solution designed for embedded operating systems. It enables embedded devices running on platforms like VxWorks, ThreadX, QNX, Embedded Linux, INTEGRITY, iOS, and others to seamlessly connect to Windows-centric networks, offering full file and printer sharing capabilities.
Can I run YNQ on my very specific real-time OS?
Yes, YNQ has been successfully ported to numerous platforms. As long as your operating system provides a TCP/IP stack, the YNQ Client can run on it. For the YNQ Server, a local file system is also required. The process of adapting YNQ to another OS is known as “porting,” and our team can assist with this to ensure compatibility with your specific real-time operating system.
How can Visuality Systems assist us in the process of YNQ porting?
Visuality Systems offers comprehensive support for the YNQ porting process, which is well-documented in the “YNQ Porting and Integration Guide.” We provide a 24/7 hotline for your engineers, along with email support for any inquiries. For more complex cases, our engineers can also provide on-site assistance to ensure a smooth and efficient porting experience.
How do you compare YNQ SMB client and server implementation to Samba?
YNQ offers a full SMB (CIFS) file-sharing implementation that is easily portable to any platform while Samba is available only for Unix/Linux platforms. YNQ has a smaller footprint and offers a higher level of customization compared to Samba. Additionally, YNQ provides a commercial license, while modern Samba operates under the GPLv3 (General Public License version 3). Furthermore, Visuality Systems offers 24/7 customer support via email, phone, or on-site assistance to guide integration steps, provide fixes as needed, and deliver periodic updates.
jNQ
Why should I use jNQ?
jNQ is the leading commercial Java SMB solution, offering reliable performance and comprehensive support. Unlike open-source alternatives, jNQ provides 24/7 customer assistance, regular updates, and the assurance of a fully maintained product, ensuring seamless integration and ongoing reliability.
Does jNQ support DFS?
Yes, jNQ fully supports Distributed File System (DFS). To enhance performance, jNQ caches DFS referral entries, minimizing the need to repeatedly fetch them for subsequent requests, leading to faster and more efficient access to network resources.
What functionality makes jNQ unique?
jNQ stands out as the only Java SMB solution that fully supports SMB 3.1.1, including pre-logon authentication. This feature, as endorsed by Microsoft, offers the highest level of protection against potential breaches in SMB traffic, ensuring robust security for your applications.
What kind of documentation is available with the jNQ package?
The jNQ package includes comprehensive documentation in Javadoc format, providing detailed information on all APIs, features, and integration steps to ensure smooth implementation and usage.
NQ Storage
Can your SMB implementation be a front-end for Data Center applications?
Yes, our SMB implementation has been thoroughly tested and proven to function as a front-end for several demanding applications, including Hyper-V, SQL Server, and Shadow Copy.
Do you support RDMA?
Yes, NQ Storage includes SMBD (SMB Direct) over RDMA transport, enabling high-speed data transfer. It has been tested with NVIDIA Infiniband cards for optimal performance in data-intensive environments.
How to integrate NQ Storage into our product?
Integrating NQ Storage into your product involves both porting and integration efforts. Additionally, it requires integration with a distributed file system backend, which necessitates the use of another API to ensure seamless functionality.
Why is SMB essential for a Storage solution when we can use NFS?
While NFS is a robust choice for Linux and Unix environments, it may limit your solution to data centers that exclusively use these platforms. In contrast, SMB is essential for mixed environments, especially when Windows machines are involved, as it enables seamless file sharing and compatibility across diverse operating systems. By using SMB, you ensure broader accessibility and integration within your storage solution.
