Problems Signiant Solves When Sending Large Files

As file sizes increase and the number of cameras in use grows, deadlines remain as tight as ever. Transferring large files can encounter numerous roadblocks, slowing down your workflow and impacting business efficiency. Here are some common issues you might face when sending large files.

Slow Transfer Speeds

Speed is a competitive edge in business – the faster you can send or receive files, the more time you have to create, revise and produce more content. Tools like FTP or Dropbox lack acceleration, taking time from you instead of giving you more. Even with ample bandwidth, network congestion, server issues and outdated protocols can slow transfers.

Bandwidth Limitations

Bandwidth limitations can be incredibly frustrating when sending large files. When your file transfer solution can’t fully utilize your available bandwidth or charges based on usage, it creates bottlenecks that slow down your transfers and hinder operations. These constraints prevent you from achieving optimal speed and efficiency in your workflows, costing valuable time and productivity.

Fluctuating Costs

Fluctuating monthly expenses for usage, payload or bandwidth complicates budgeting and disrupts planning. With production demands varying, forecasting transfer costs becomes difficult. Not being able to predict costs makes companies more challenged when making production decisions.

Long Distances

In a global market, content must travel to more places over longer distances, increasing the impact of latency. Long distances slow file transfers, raise the risk of file corruption and complicate remote workflows across different time zones. These challenges make it difficult to maintain operations and timely delivery in an increasingly interconnected world.

Moving to the Cloud

In today’s hybrid, multi-cloud world, files often move in, out and between public and private clouds simultaneously. Many file transfer solutions either lack the capability to work with both file and object storage or impose additional charges for connecting to multiple cloud providers. This restricts business options and drives up costs to meet scaling media demands.

Transfer Restarts

Transfer interruptions are inevitable, whether due to network or power issues. Many file transfer solutions require manual restarts, an expensive and time-consuming process that can lead to unnecessary downtime and overtime. Without automated restart capabilities, teams must babysit transfers, taking them away from more important priorities.
