SafeVelocity™ Ideally suited for enterprises that regularly move large quantities of data across networks, SafeVelocity specifically addresses the problems of transferring large files (megabytes to Gigabytes) over the Internet by providing a platform that provides ensured delivery, faster throughput and increased security.

Increased Reliability – Before beginning a transfer, SafeVelocity checks to ensure that adequate disk space exists on the target machine. During transmission, SafeVelocity performs block level checksum. After transmission, SafeVelocity checks the transmitted file size against the original to ensure complete transmission. In the event of an error in file size or a checksum error, SafeVelocity automatically retransmits the corrupted blocks. In the event of a broken communications line during transfer, SafeVelocity automatically reestablishes the link and completes the transfer from the point of interruption.

Increased Throughput – During transmission, transfer speed is increased using dynamic, on-the-fly compression and decompression as well as parallel processing threads. SafeVelocity speeds up file transfer and optimizes network bandwidth utilization over the LAN, the WAN, and the Internet. Transmission can be further accelerated by delta transmission that enables only the changed portions of a data file to be transferred. The unique combination of automatic compression and decompression, threaded processing and delta transfers results in unprecedented time and bandwidth savings.

Increased Security – Unlike standard ftp applications that transmit passwords in the clear, SafeVelocity hinders unauthorized system access by transmitting encrypted passwords. Further, SafeVelocity is hacker-resistant, instead of invoking sub-processes, like most transfer programs, SafeVelocity is a threaded application that never invokes a sub-process. Character buffers are always cleared, and boundaries are always checked to foil hacking. These modern programming techniques significantly limit the possibility that malicious operators can exploit these known security holes.

Ease of Use – SafeVelocity offers an intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI) as well as a simple, command-line interface, familiar to users of standard ftp. Due to its open standards-based design, SafeVelocity is compatible with all standard FTP products.

Specialized Compression Utilities - Because of its speed and very high reliability, SafeVelocity is especially well suited for the transfer of gigabyte-sized files. In addition, SafeVelocity incorporates specialized compression utilities for the compression of GDSII, and MEBES format files (popular formats for the semiconductor industry). For files in these formats, our utilities typically achieve 2 to 10 times greater compression than gzip. Therefore, gigabyte-sized files that take many hours to transfer, can be sent in 1/2 to 1/10 the time of gzipped files, using less bandwidth, and stored in 1/2 to 1/10 as much disk space as gzipped files.

Mass Migrator - The SafeVelocity Mass Migrator module is designed to transfer tens or hundreds of thousands of files and directories. Traditional ftp applications are ill-suited for this process.  Not only are they not reliable for transferring massive amounts of data, but also have been proven too slow.  According to ftp protocol, each file transfer consists of a two channel setup and tear down.  With thousands of files, just the channel setup and tear down alone processes can take days!  SafeVelocity's Mass Migrator module reuses the initial command and data channel to avoid this performance issue altogether.  This capability combined with SafeVelocity's auto-resume, guaranteed transfer and on-the-fly auto-compression make it an unique and ideal solution for mass directory and or file copies across the internet.
