This is an old article about file distribution



1. EnduraData cross platform managed file transfer, file replication and data distribution?


Enduradata's EDpCloud is an automated Content Distribution and File Transfer Software. It is a journaled cost effective and secure solution that allows businesses and governments to distribute data and applications from one computer to one or more computers. The files can be small or very large. Combine the solution with work flow automation and you will achieve significant operational efficiencies and a Low Total Cost of Ownership. The solution allows you to synchronize data from (a) one computer to another or (b) one computer to many or (c) many computers to one or (d) etc. The computers can be connected using high speed local area networks or the Internet. You do not need any additional software or hardware. You can delete files from one location and restore them at any time. You can get older versions of your files if you need to do so. You can access your data from anywhere in a secure fashion. EnduraData Provides a full range of services to integrate its solution in various operations.

2. How does EnduraData Crossplatform Managed File Transfer and file replication work?


You install EnduraData's crossplatform content distribution software on your PC and decide what data to distribute to remote locations for safekeeping or for sharing with authorized users. The software does the rest. The software sends only the data that changes. The software will keep as many versions of the software as you want. You can create additional snapshots at any time you want. At each time snapshots are created, only the differences between the data sets are sent across the network.

5. Features and Benefits

Easy installation and configuration Install and configure in matter of minutes. Save on administrative costs.
Easy to use and easy to manage. Save on initial cost and on management costs. Low total cost of ownership. Increase operational efficiencies.
Have remote copies of your data Allows your teams to have access to data on remote locations. Increase operational efficiencies. Avoid data loss due to mistakes, hardware failures or disasters. Recover data from anywhere.
Advanced algorithms send only the parts of data that changed. Using data de-duplication technology, you send the minimal amount of data on the wire. Your synchronizations will finish faster. This allows you to reduce the windows of vulnerability to data loss.
Share data between work groups and processes Using EnduraData's Content Distribution suite allows you to have access to the same data shared between remote groups.
Integrates with work flows. EnduraData's data management group will work with your team to integrate the solution with your work flow. Automate work flow and processes, reduce errors and save time and money.
No need for new hardware. works with existing hardware. Save more money! no need to purchase new hardware. EnduraData Inc runs on many existing hardware. EnduraData provides a complete solution. No other downloads, no compiling.
No need for new software. works with your existing software. Save money! EnduraData's content distribution, runs on many existing software platforms and comes with all required modules.
Complete solution. Unlike many other competitors or open source software, EnduraData does not require the download of any other third party software. Allows the customer to install and configure EnduraData's software in minutes and to focus on their other regular tasks.
Compresses data for transmission. Save on bandwidth and synchronization time. Avoid disaster when it strikes. Reduce the time to end of synchronization.
Copy only data that changed. Save bandwidth, reduce windows of vulnerability, avoid disasters. Increase operational efficiency.
support of versions, snapshots and archives Keep as many versions as you want. Create your own snapshots. Revert to any older versions of your data if you need to. Recover deleted or Corrupt files. Archive static files or keep multiple archives.
Scalable solution The software is easy to deploy on one or many locations. Add new nodes and servers as you go. Easy to change without disrupting operations.
Cross platform solution Software will inter operate between hardware platforms and operating systems. Support of Windows, Linux, Macintosh/Apple/Mac, Solaris, etc
Use in local area networks, private networks or INTERNET. Works with all TCP/IP networks. Create your own private or public clouds.
Password protected and other authentication Allow only authorized users and servers to send data to destination servers for synchronization. This provides better security.
Filter files based on file or directory name patterns Allows you to filter files sent or accepted based on file names or patterns in the file or directory name. Example: send only doc documents.
Filter files based on exclude file name patterns Allows you to filter files sent or accepted based on file names or patterns in the file name. Example1: never synchronize files with a name like payroll to India or Casablanca.
Run as administrator or as a regular user. A user may elect to run the software as a private user or as an administrator if the system manager gives him these rights.
Use any type of storage or file system. synchronize from and to: NAS, SAN, DAS, etc. synchronize from and to: ext2, ext3, XFS, CXFS, NFS, CIFS, ...
Encrypt data Secure data transmission. Preserve privacy, comply and safeguard company's data against industrial espionage or theft.
Use strong journaling Use Journaling to reduce the effect of link and network failures. Save time and resume from where you left off.
1 to 1 replication Replicate data from one PC to another
Many to one replication Consolidate data to a single remote location. Take advantage of collecting data from many remote sites to a single site. Reduce management and backup costs. Make sure all edge sites are protected.
1 to Many content distribution. Distribute content to many locations.
Cascaded distribution Scale very well by cascading and distributing the load and risk.
Gather stats and logs, generate reports Review logs, statistics and create progress reports.
Pause Pause replication and data distribution without losing anything.
Resume Resume replication and data distribution from where you left off.
Control bandwith usage You decide how much bandwith to use and when.
Archive files You decide what files to archive for short term or long term retention. Use the archive solution to comply with regulations and reporting requirements.
Flexible scheduling Create a flexible schedule to backup data to the minute.
Easy and rich configuration tools Novice users can configure in minutes using a graphical user interface. Advanced users can use the GUI or the rich command line tools to integrate with operations.
Flexible payment Try before you buy! choose a monthly lease payment or a one time payment.
Local and professional support Will guide you until you are up and running efficiently
