Bandwidth Utilization

“Signiant, at the end of the day, is helping storytellers wherever storytelling is happening.”

“We live in that immediacy. We’ve come to rely on Media Shuttle to be our everyday solution and never have to worry.”

iPerf is a command-line tool that allows IT personnel to check transfer speeds between a given source and destination, based on factors such as bandwidth. While iPerf is a third-party tool unassociated with Signiant, it is a tool we use regularly to help diagnose network conditions when deploying our software.

Signiant’s accelerated file transfer solutions are designed to optimize transfers based on file and storage type, distance, and network conditions, to make sure you get the most out of all available bandwidth. And, the bigger the pipe, the more we can help!

Upgrading your network without acceleration is like going from a country road to a major highway, while driving a moped; you could go super fast if your transport mechanism allowed it.

Most cloud data transfers utilize HTTP(S) and, like all standard Internet protocols, network latency slows down data transfer time. Learn about reducing latency for long-distance cloud connectivity.

Easily manage bandwidth with the Signiant Platform. Maximize efficiency with advanced controls, scheduling, and prioritization.

When Telefónica first reached out to Signiant in order to deploy their solutions for the Spanish Ministry of Defence, they clearly laid out the seriousness of the challenge. The Spanish Ministry of Defence found transferring files among naval bases and ships proved problematic.

On the surface, it may seem that moving large files from one location to another is relatively simple and that a faster pipe is all you need, but it turns out there’s much more to it. Learn why a bigger pipe doesn’t lead to faster file transfers and how to get the most out of your network.

Learn why it’s necessary even with high-bandwidth connections, how it’s difference from open-source UDP, how it improves cloud transfers, and about Signiant’s new intelligent transport mechanism.

Historically, Signiant has been used to move files, but now this same technology is available for streaming. Some organizations need to move both files and streams as part of their workflows and Signiant can do both.

Media file sizes continue to grow, increasing the need for bandwidth and file acceleration technology. While the technical aspects are well understood, the financial implications can be surprisingly convoluted.
