Larger volumes and size of data has created challenges in many industries

Telco, Media and Entertainment

• Challenged to effectively distribute large media assets through their rapidly expanding digital supply chain

LifeSciences

• Struggle to globally share and access Big Data sets that are changing daily (e.g. Genomic data)

Financial Services

• Depend on high speed synchronization of data across geographies for critical business continuity capabilities

IT applicationdevelopment

• Faced with challenges to global development, QA, test and support of large-scale applications and engineering processes

Oil, Gas and Next Gen Energy

• Challenged to move giant seismic data sets from remote locations across data centers for processing and analysis

Government

• Critical analysis hampered by slow transfer of intelligence data sets (e.g. satellite surveillance imagery)

Existing approaches fall short

• Limitations in moving large files and collections of files over WANs

• Inability to scale with increases in file sizes and transfer volumes

• Complex file/data set synchronization and workflow automation requirements

• Bulk data not well supported for Cloud storage

• Traditional protocols limit performance of high end scale out NAS

• Alternatives to file transfer have limited scope/reach

• Transfer performance is significantly impacted by distance

• Throughput does not scale with bandwidth increases

• Highly inefficient bandwidth utilization with no control over speed and priority of transfers
