Have you considered accelerating your file transfer process across your enterprise, but due to the complexities and costs involved, decided against it? It is a fact that until recently, in order to get accelerated file transfer across your WAN you either had to upgrade your connections to reduce latency, or install expensive hardware on each node of your network. Both solutions can end up costing thousands of dollars per month, and additional overhead for installation and support at multiple locations. It used to be the case that accelerated file transfer was an option only for large companies with deep pockets.

In the last few years, a host of software solutions have emerged to address to the specific problem of large file transfer over WAN, satellite, or links that otherwise suffer from impairments. However the problem remains that most of these software solution require a PhD. to configure and “tweak” them for optimal performance. Certainly this is not something you can expect end users to do for a one time download. In addition, the per concurrent client license model employed by some vendors is not flexible
