Enterprise Windows File Services
Native on Amazon EFS
Roadrunner SMB™ is a high-availability SMB3 gateway that gives Windows workloads native access to Amazon EFS — with full Active Directory integration, Windows ACL enforcement, and a multi-AZ cluster architecture built for AWS from the ground up.
Built for Windows workloads on AWS
Windows-Native File Access
SMB3 protocol with full Windows ACL support, correct metadata handling, and native Windows permission inheritance — no Linux mapping workarounds required.
Active Directory Integration
Domain-join your cluster, authenticate Windows users natively via Kerberos, and enforce AD security group permissions exactly as on-premises.
Accelerated Metadata
Patent-pending Elastic SMB™ acceleration layer reduces EFS metadata latency for bursty VDI and Windows file workloads — delivered via L1 RAM cache and DynamoDB-backed distributed state.
Multi-AZ HA by Default
Fixed 2–4 node CTDB cluster spans multiple Availability Zones. Automatic failover, no manual intervention, no single point of failure.
One-Click Marketplace Deploy
Deploy into your existing VPC with a single CloudFormation stack. NLB, ECS cluster, EFS mounts, IAM roles, and security groups are all created automatically.
Admin UI Included
Browser-based Admin UI for share management, cluster health monitoring, AD status, and support report generation — no SSH access required.
Ideal for
- VDI and Windows desktops on AWS — Amazon WorkSpaces, Citrix, and Windows 365 workloads needing fast, domain-joined file shares
- Departmental file shares — Replace on-premises Windows file servers with a fully managed, HA alternative on EFS
- Home directories and user profiles — Persistent, high-performance user storage for domain users on AWS
- MSPs and IT teams modernizing to AWS — Lift-and-shift Windows file services without retraining users or changing client configurations
