What is SMB?
Server Message Block (SMB) is a network file sharing protocol that allows applications on a computer to access files and resources on a remote server. It's commonly used for sharing files, printers, and serial ports between computers on a network. SMB is primarily used in Windows environments, but implementations are also available for other operating systems like Linux and macOS, often through the use of Samba.
What other technologies are related to SMB?
SMB Competitor Technologies
NFS
NFS (Network File System) is a file sharing protocol that allows users to access files over a network, making it a direct competitor to SMB for file sharing.
CIFS
CIFS (Common Internet File System) is another name for SMB. Thus it's effectively the same.
iSCSI
iSCSI (Internet Small Computer Systems Interface) is a protocol that allows computers to access block-level storage devices over a network. SMB can be used with block storage, so iSCSI can be seen as a storage protocol that competes in some use-cases with SMB.
AWS Transfer for SFTP

AWS Transfer for SFTP provides a managed SFTP service in AWS, enabling secure file transfers over the internet. It provides an alternative way to securely transfer files between systems.
NFSv4.x
No summary available
NFSv4.x is a more recent version of the NFS protocol that offers improved security and performance compared to older versions. This makes it a stronger competitor to SMB.
FTP
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a standard network protocol used for the transfer of computer files between a client and server on a computer network. It competes with SMB for file sharing.
NAS
NAS (Network Attached Storage) is a file-level computer data storage server connected to a computer network providing data access to a heterogeneous group of clients. It typically supports SMB, and so competes with it.

SMB Complementary Technologies
DataSync
AWS DataSync is a data transfer service that simplifies, automates, and accelerates moving data between on-premises storage and AWS. It can be used to migrate data to/from SMB shares.
Storage Gateway
AWS Storage Gateway connects on-premises software appliances to cloud-based storage. It can present cloud storage as SMB file shares, therefore it is complementary.
AWS Backup
AWS Backup is a centralized backup service that can be used to back up data stored in SMB file shares. This is complementary.
