Modern Data Movement Is Outgrowing Traditional MFTData exchange has quietly become one of the most critical layers of modern IT infrastructure. Every day, organizations move large volumes of sensitive information between partners, cloud platforms, internal systems, and external services. These transfers support everything from revenue operations to regulatory reporting.Yet many companies still...

Technology is now inseparable from modern agriculture. From planting decisions to harvest timing, today’s farms rely increasingly on data to guide nearly every operational choice. Precision agriculture, sometimes called digital or smart farming, has transformed fields into data‑generating environments.Sensors measure soil moisture and nutrients. GPS‑guided equipment tracks movement and performance...

As enterprises move more data across more locations, file transfer performance stops being an afterthought and becomes a real operational issue. What used to be a simple process of moving files from one location to another has evolved to needing to move massive datasets, entire directory trees, and time‑sensitive data between systems that may be spread across regions and even continents.That’s...

AI, Automation, and Advanced Reporting: Redefining How Data MovesTechnology as we know it today, is ever-changing, and the software solutions designed to move the most sensitive data for organizations, and their trading partners, are also rapidly evolving.“The need for compliant, automated, and secure file transfers continues to grow as more information is exchanged than ever before,” notes Chris...

Expecting smooth sailing when transferring sensitive files ship-to-shore, ship-to-ship, or shore-to-ship? Without a robust, accelerated file transfer solution in place expect to encounter some rough waters in terms of reliability, speed, and integrity.When at-sea connectivity challenges exist, such as with high latency or unstable bandwidth, and the reliability of file transfers is imperative, you...

Land surveyors, film production crews, power line and gas pipeline inspectors, news reporters, and accident investigators all have a few things in common. First, they are almost always on the road and second, they need to collect a lot of digital information that needs to be uploaded to the home office quickly and reliably.Achieving big data transfers from the road doesn’t have to be laborious or...

Organizations expect security and stability when sending sensitive files. However, achieving these goals can get a bit tricky without robust and accelerated file transfer software—especially when using satellite services. Internet over satellite has been around since the mid-1990s using traditional data satellites such as VSAT, HughesNet, and Iridium – all which operate in geo-stationary orbit (22...

Disasters come in many forms —floods, earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes — all with the power to destroy or seriously impact your organization’s data. And cybercrime disasters, such as ransomware can create disastrous results of their own. In today’s cybersecurity landscape, ransomware probably has a higher chance of hitting your organization than those unfortunate weather-related crises. And...

Deciding how to securely send files doesn’t have to be difficult. There are plenty of file transfer protocols that can do the job efficiently and securely (as well as a few that should be out of consideration).File Transfer Protocols and Their Security ConsiderationsFTP (File Transfer ProtocolSecurity considerations: Transmission of files is unencrypted, and data is sent in plaintext (including...

Sharing files in most any industry requires some level of security to protect what is often an organization’s most valuable asset – the data entrusted to it. When it comes to the military, the defense industry, or other high-security organizations – government or private – prioritizing the security of files via solutions that offer segmentation opportunities to thwart intrusion is a must...

If you want to see how different protocols such as TCP or UDP perform when it comes to maximizing your network capacity, it’s important to test network throughput appropriately and with the correct mode engaged.TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a reliable protocol used most often for emails and web traffic. UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is the protocol most organizations rely upon when speed...

How UDP-based Technology Helps with Long Distance and Large File Transfers “Relying on TCP-based file transfer protocols such as SFTP, HTTP, or FTPS on their own if you need to send files lightning-fast, from remote locations, or off-shore, can put you at a strategic disadvantage, as those protocols lack the acceleration and reliability of...

What is a TFTP Server? TFTP, or Trivial File Transfer Protocol lives up to its name as it is a lightweight, simple protocol used to send files across a network. The server of this “trivial” protocol allows computers in and out of an organization’s network to exchange files using TFTP. As a lightweight protocol, there is less complexity, and therefore...

If your organization uses any web applications to conduct essential business functions to boost productivity and collaboration, and provide an easy, customer friendly way to deliver services, you should consider solutions that incorporate a WAF, or Web Application Firewall. A WAF is a firewall specifically targeting the application layer —...
