Sterling File Accelerator

Digital content explosion is creating bottlenecks
Regardless of the industry, the volume and size of file-based content is causing delays in critical business processes. This extends from check images, patient information, and media and entertainment content, to price updates, backups, and seismic data. Faster network pipes can help, but there is an inherent problem with TCP/IP and network latency that effectively limits how fast TCP/IP transfers can go, regardless of the line speed.

Accelerate your transfers and the business processes they drive
Sterling File Accelerator diminishes the effect of network latency on large file transfers for more efficient use of your existing large bandwidth line. The result is transfer speeds up to four times faster compared to TCP/IP on the same high speed line. Here’s what it means for you:

• Meet tighter processing windows through new thinner and stateless protocol that works directly on your existing IP network
• Cooperatively share the high-speed circuit though built-in congestion control mechanisms
• Works with Connect:Direct as an alternate transport for our industry leading file transfer product
