File Transfers and SDN?

Broadcasters are quickly moving to file based content acquisition, also for time sensitive media production.

- Internally they rely on proprietary software

- For content exchange with others they often use inefficient IT/office protocols (FTP)

-Time sensitive exchange can only be solved by dedicated leased lines – limiting reach and flexibility.

File-based media production

The big broadcast survey 2015, Devoncroft

What?- Programmable- Centralized control- Steered by business applications

Why?- Foundation for delivering bandwidth by-the-minute- Speed up new service time-to-market

So what?Media producers are- In control- Get connectivity where and when needed- Pay only for what is used.

Automated and agile media production workflows are supported with real-time on-demand network connectivity.

Software Defined Networking

So what’s the solution?

Transfer fileswith on-demand bandwidth using

FileTeleport

• Choose files, destination and arrival time• Automatically accelerate your transfers

using on-demand bandwidth with real-time pricing

• Exchange content with guaranteed time-of-arrival

FileTeleport –Why?

With FileTeleport broadcasters and content owners can truly accelerate file transfers and they get a guaranteed time-of-

arrival.

Using an interoperable platform everyone can exchange content, and with no management of servers and software and no manual exchange of server information and user

credentials the cost of operations is low.

And how is this realized?

1. User selects files, destination and time of arrival

2. On-demand bandwidth is requested and provisioned

3. File transfer is initiated

Solving Latency IssuesSolving Latency Issues

Every network suffers from latency Latency is an expression of how much time it takes for a packet of data to get from one designated point to another. Network latency is measured by sending a packet and receiving an acknowledgement. This round-trip time (RTT) is the “latency”.

Visualize the flow of packets like water running through a hose. With FTP, there is a kink in the hose restricting the water’s flow. With FileCatalyst, the kink is removed and water can rush through unrestricted.

FTP is a very serial process. Each packet of data must be received before a new packet is sent = Decreased transfer speed

FileCatalyst completely saturates the pipe by sending multiple blocks of data = Increased transfer speed

Efficient Transport ProtocolEfficient Transport Protocol

FileCatalyst transfers files at full link speed:

• UDP with proprietary retransmission and congestion control

• Patented algorithm built from the ground up in-house

• Transfer rates up to 10 Gbps (with encryption) using commodity hardware

• Not affected by latency and speed degrades, linearly with packet loss

• Ability to fully leverage multi-core CPU architecture

File Acceleration with FileCatalyst File Acceleration with FileCatalyst

Underlying FileCatalyst ComponentsUnderlying FileCatalyst Components

• A point-to-point file transfer solution requiring software at both endpoints

• Client applications include:• HotFolder: Automated and

scheduled Transfers with folder synchronization

• Express: Desktop client, manual process

• Web Technologies: Upload from any browser on any OS with the use of a plugin.

• Development Tools: Command Line, Java & .NET API for seamless integration

• Mobile Applications: iOS and Android

TransferAgent

• Our Alternative to Web Applets. • Support starting transfers from remote locations• Full REST API to start, get statistics and cancel transfers• Can be integrated into any application using any

programming language.

TransferAgent

FileCatalyst CentralFileCatalyst Central

• A web application providing an overview of a user’s entire FileCatalyst deployment

• View ongoing transfers in real-time, dig into transaction histories, and check or clear alarms

• Inspect connected nodes and remotely control FileCatalyst Server and FileCatalyst HotFolder instances from one central management console

Key Takeaways

File acceleration using a software defined media network gives broadcasters fast and reliable file transfers, and network service providers a new

offering to climb the value chain.

FileTeleport

-Truly accelerates transfers with on-demand bandwidth and guarantees time-of-arrival

-Automates order-to-bill, which simplifies usage and keeps operational costs low.

-Lets you combine live and file based workflows in one infrastructure
