SMB3 Interoperability Lab
September 22-26, 2019, Co-located with SDC
The purpose of this Interoperability Lab (formally known as the SMB3 Plugfest) is for vendors to bring their implementations of SMB3 to test, identify, and fix bugs in a collaborative setting with the goal of providing a forum in which companies can develop interoperable products. SNIA provides and supports networks and infrastructure for the Interoperability Lab, creating a collaborative framework for testing. The participants of the Interoperability Lab work together to define the testing process, assuring that objectives are accomplished.
