| The Enterprise File Fabric uses the SMB protocol to connect to, index, and subsequently perform other operations on POSIX style file systems that may be remote to the File Fabric, including CIFS based Windows systems. File metadata is indexed (aka cached) by the File Fabric. Although ACLs are not cached by the File Fabric, they are implicitly observed during file access. | The Enterprise File Fabric uses the SMB protocol to connect to, index, and subsequently perform other operations on POSIX style file systems that may be remote to the File Fabric, including CIFS based Windows systems.
