SMB3 Multichannel enables file servers to use multiple network connections simultaneously. This feature increases the network performance and availability of the file servers.
SMB3 Multichannel benefits include:
- Automatic configuration
- Client-side network processing on multiple CPU cores
- Increased data throughput
- Increased fault tolerance
- Resilience during network failures
SMB3 Multichannel is automatically enabled if the EVS is configured for version 3 of the SMB protocol.
