FASTCopy is SoftLink's technology for reliable, secure, bandwidth controlled, automated, enhanced file transfer and is the backbone of all other SoftLink products. (Download a free evaluation kit).

FASTCopy offers the following:

Guaranteed file delivery including:
     Recovery from the point of failure within a block in the file.
     Manual and automatic recovery.
     Hold and Resume capability for very large transfer operations.
     Scheduler for transfer operations.
     Central monitoring and control for problem tracking by operators.
     Enhanced integrity features.

Complete control over the network bandwidth utilized by the file-transfer operation:
     Absolute bandwidth limits (a specific operation takes no more than x Kb/second)
     Relative bandwidth control (a specific operation takes no more than x% of what's available on the line).
     Time-dependent bandwidth for very large operations, so that you can set different bandwidth limits for
       different periods of time in advance.
     Centralized bandwidth policy for transfer to certain nodes or sub-nets or by pre-defined users or
       applications.

Complete file transfer security and administration including:
     Access Control features: rule-base screening, eliminating the need for usernames or passwords in
       scripts, resource protection and logical usernames use.
     Untrusted network (i.e. Internet) features including encryption and authentication.
     Untrusted local users features.

Capable of transferring only the differences between files at a block level over the network (for efficient replication).

Transparent on-the-fly compression capability.

Multi-Platform - Supports most UNIX systems (SUN, HP, AIX and more), Linux and Windows (see a detailed list).

Post-Transfer Processing (lets you specify what process / programs will be executed at the end of the transfer on both nodes) eliminating the need to use "file watchers" to kick-off tasks at the end of transfers.

Callable Application Interface (API), designed to intergrate into other applications and products.

Central on-line monitoring over all network wide transfer operations:
     Provides immediate problem tracking and handling to minimize application downtime.
     Open report and alert system that can send data to any external monitoring system.
     Keeps historical information for post-mortem case studies and capacity planning.

FASTCopy offers absolute modularity and flexibility and easily adjusts to any operating system it operates under.

Solution

FASTCopy provides the ultimate file transfer engine for your applications enabling you to focus on the building of your own application. FASTCopy is completely reliable so there is no need to supervise its operation. FASTCopy is also designed to overcomes failures by continuing to operate in the background until it proves successful. Comprehensive reporting is provided during and after FASTCopy's operation.

The FASTCopy engine can be used to create several industrial grade business solutions. Please visit our "Qualification Wizard" section to find the package that best suits your needs.
