Which are you still using?
MOST COMMON SOLUTIONS
© Signiant, Inc | @signiant 13
• More bandwidth does not guarantee faster transfers
• Large files encounter high latency especially over long distances
It’s TOO SLOW and UNRELIABLE
#1 PROBLEM OF MOVING LARGE FILES
“It’s very frustrating, as the person who signs off on buying big Internet pipes for the company, to find out that traditional means do not let me realize the full bandwidth I’m paying for.”
- Evan Schechtman, RadicalMedia

“THE PITFALLS OF FTP”
Speed Maintenance Cost Scalability
Security Ease-of-use Reliability
“We had to reevaluate after realizing how much server hardware, installation effort and on-going cost we would be introducing [to improve on FTP].”
