TIXway Functionality
TIXway brings the power of TIXstream WAN transfer acceleration to standard file transfer (FTP based) applications without the need of tight integration at end user's FTP systems.
Involving TIXway requires a client-side-gateway (CSG, TIXway-C) close to the FTP client(s) and a server-side-gateway (SSG, TIXway-S) close to the FTP server(s). WAN-critical FTP is used only for the local connections between client and TIXway-C as well as between TIXway-S and FTP server. The critical long haul connection is boosted by RWTP.
| TIXway Models | |
|---|---|
| Client Side Gateway (CSG) | TIXway-C terminates connections from FTP clients locally. TIXway-C connects to an SSG via WAN. |
| Server Side Gateway (SSG) | TIXway-S connects to FTP servers locally. TIXway-S accepts WAN connections from CSGs. |
| TIXway Editions | |
| Workgroup (WE) | TIXway WE is the ideal entry level solutions for a small number of locations. The minimum setup just needs a CSG and a SSG. For growing requirements you can easily upgrade to Enterprise edition. |
| Enterprise (EE) | TIXway EE covers installations with multiple locations and multiple FTP servers. |
| TIXway Product Formats | |
| Appliance | TIXway appliances are turn key solutions based on specified standard server hardware, a Linux OS and the TIXway software package. |
| Software | If you prefer to run TIXway on your favorite hardware and Linux OS – maybe along with your FTP server or client – you are ready-to-go with our TIXway software package. Please ask us for hardware and OS requirements. |
Of course you can add TIXway nodes to all of your branch offices in order to speed-up file transfer between them.
More information on functionality and usage can be found in TIXway solutions.

*)single stream data rate limited to 2500 Megabits/s
Transfer rate may be limited when round trip time (RTTmax) exceeds 200ms and network packet loss rate exceeds 0.1%. Sum of transfer rates of parallel transfers may not exceed total transfer rate. Transfer rate is agnostic to content of transmitted data, file formats, etc.
Actual values may vary due to performance of FTP clients, FTP servers, storage systems, file systems, and network conditions. Transfer rates are equally distributed over all active connections between a pair of CSG and SSG.
TIXway offers transparent acceleration of existing FTP-based workflows with ultimate ease of integration.
