SuperFAST Transport for Large Files
With today's high-speed lines, standard file transfer protocols simply do not deliver.
With 14-year experience in Enhanced File Transfer, SoftLink has developed SuperFAST - a high speed, lightweight,
multi-stream file transfer protocol for large files over high speed lines.
While FASTCopy is SoftLink's enhanced file transfer protocol that provides over 200 related features
including bandwidth control, among others, SuperFAST is speed oriented. Achieving high speed over
fast lines is not trivial. Ordinary FTP on broadband lines does not fully utilize the available
bandwidth. SuperFAST achieves speeds greater by up to 40% over ftp. Available for Windows
delivery, SuperFAST offers:
Adjustable multi threading
Large file support
Monitoring
Recovery
Verification
SuperFAST digital data delivery protocol, takes a file, regardless of size, splits it into an adjustable
number of sessions and reassembles the file on the target node, thus, achieving major throughput acceleration. Running parallel sessions multiplies the
utilization of the assigned bandwidth.
Using the time based sliding window acknowledgment protocol; SuperFAST reduces the protocol overhead to almost zero.
Another feature that assists in achieving greater speed is packet size adjustability. SuperFAST allows
its users to adjust both disk packet size and network packet size. Packet size adjustability allows users
to fully optimize the file I/O interaction across networks and hardware.
Marketed as a FEST supported protocol, SuperFAST provides organizations with one of the fastest protocols
available today. Combined with FEST multi-protocol management platform, companies can now enjoy better
means of controlling their heterogeneous environment, utilizing different pipes and infrastructure
restrictions. For industries that transfer very large files over WANs, like data storage, film production,
media on demand, content delivery, global manufacturing and others, SuperFAST technology is in great demand.
