TIXstream WAN Transfer

TIXstream file transfer

TIXEL's TIXstream Series provides highest speed grades for reliable data transmission in Wide Area Networks (WANs). TIXstream is the ultimate accelerator and enabler for global data intensive applications.

The Reliable WAN Transfer Protocol (RWTP) guarantees 100% error-free data transfers at fastest speeds of up to 625 Megabytes per second (5 Gigabits per second) on standard Internet Protocol (IP) networks — even in case of packet loss, jitter, and high latencies.

TIXstream vs. FTP

Transferring 100 Gigabytes from Los Angeles to London on a 10 Gigabit link may take 47.2 hours using the file transfer protocol (FTP). Or 3 minutes using TIXstream.

Strong AES 256 encryption is available without degradation of transfer speed.

The TIXstream high performance software framework optimizes the entire end-to-end transfer chain including file system and network access as well as CPU intensive processing. For highest flexibility there are multiple ways of seamless integration of TIXstream in various kinds of environments.
