“File transfer multicasting.” That’s how Proginet’s President and CEO, Sandy Weil, describes CFI with RocketStream, the Company’s innovative new solution for accelerated managed file transfer. CFI with RocketStream turbocharges global file transfers – delivering files up to 30 times faster than FTP and commercially available file transfer applications. CFI with RocketStream achieves these speeds by defeating network latency; global organizations transferring large files over high-latency pipes and long distances will yield maximum benefits.

Who is the competitor using UDP that you mention at around the 5 minute mark and do you have any benchmarks/performance statistics between the two of you?
Hi Jim,
The competitor that recently announced UDP is widely recognized as the largest vendor in the MFT space. They have a huge footprint across the Global 2000 but Proginet has been very successful in challenging them of late. That they announced UDP several months after we announced our CFI acceleration technology feels like validation for us – in that we have become increasingly recognized as the niche, innovative player in the managed file transfer space.
We would welcome some benchmark testing with this competitor as we’re confident that the RocketStream implementation is exponentially faster. The RocketStream technology has two different protocols each designed to maximize speeds over certain types of connections. The PDP protocol (patent pending) uses multiple TCP connections to speed up WAN transfers over slow and medium pipes and a special implementation of the UDP protocol for high speed connections over very large pipes. Benchmarked testing has shown CFI with RocketStream to be up to 30 times faster than FTP or commercial file transfer products. Several months after Proginet announced CFI with RocketStream, this competitor announced their accelerator which is positioned as WAN acceleration. Their solution, however, is based on the open source technology UDT, which utilizes standard UDP for file transfer acceleration. This technology is limited to speeding transfers up to a maximum of 4 to 5 times the speed and only if both sides have very high speed WAN connections. This is not often the case. For slower links they have no equivalent to the RocketStream PDP protocol.
Hope this helps.
Sandy
