Professional Data Transfer Solutions

World moving data

Data intensive global workflows require fast long haul data transmissions. Fast file transfer is the key enabler for distributed workflows and cloud services.

Standard transfer tools however deliver poor performance on today's 1 and 10 Gigabit networks. This leads to the fact that companies are still shipping hard disks instead of using existing high speed computer networks.

TIXEL's solution overcome this inefficient use of resources.

Typical areas of applications are where massive amounts of data are moved between distributed locations e. g. in media industry and science.

TIXEL offers high performance solutions for bulk data transfer that significantly help to reduce time and cost. Simple point-to-point scenarios as well as complex enterprise and B2B setups can be realized with TIXEL's file transfer acceleration products — even covering speeds beyond 10 G in cluster infrastructures.

TIXEL solutions offer fastest replication of huge amounts of bulk data for significant acceleration of global workflows. Moreover they are enabler for novel workflows which where impossible to implement so far.

TIXstream WAN Transfer

TIXstream file transfer

TIXEL's TIXstream Series provides highest speed grades for reliable data transmission in Wide Area Networks (WANs) covering professional end-to-end file transfer and DPX-video streaming.

TIXstream is the ultimate accelerator and enabler for global data intensive applications. Read more...


TIXway WAN File Transfer Acceleration

TIXway file transfer

The common File Transfer Protocol (FTP) works well in local environments but its speed heavily degrades on today's multi-gigabit Wide Area Networks (WANs).

TIXway boosts FTP based workflows with minimum user impact: no extra software, no extra devices, no change in workflows. Read more...



Common Features

TIXEL offers scalable transfer solutions tailored to your environment covering several kinds of network, storage, applications, and workflows.

  • The Reliable WAN Transfer Protocol (RWTP) enables efficient compensation of network impairments like packet loss, jitter, and high latencies
  • Compatible with standard Internet Protocol (IP) infrastructure like leased lines and MPLS networks
  • Guaranteed robust 100 % error-free data transfers
  • Fastest speeds at current and upcoming WAN links by enabling extreme high data rates for reliable and secure data transfers
  • Content agnostic transfer speed
  • Available as appliance and Linux software package
  • Standard interfaces: 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) network, Fibre Channel storage, HDSDI video playback

Performance

TIXstream vs. FTP

On a typical WAN link with a round trip time (RTT) of 100 ms and 0.1 % packet loss FTP may deliver 0.6 Megabits/s or less. TIXway boosts this to 978 Megabits/s on a 1 G link. TIXstream transfers 5 Gigabits/s at a 10 G link. Thus waiting for 100 Gigabytes to be transferred may take two days — or less that 3 minutes.
