Moving Data Faster than Light
We bend networks and time to make things really fast!
Why?
Moving data over public and private WANS remains a challenge. Current solutions are costly and complex and remain a tertiary focus for the major vendors. We think there is a better way to make an inexpensive, simple and effective solution. Read on!
The Wormhole(TM)
The Construct
1. Transparent proxy for open data copy utilities i.e. scp, rsync.
2. Adaptive protocols to defeat network latency, restrictive QoS policies, blocking, and loss.
3. encryption without compromising speed
The wormhole is a network proxy that manages the network layer (TCP/UDP). ActMobile’s hard-earned experience in the consumer space driven by business necessity (free VPN services), has resulted in several unique techniques for accelerating data movement over the WAN. They include striping TCP, burst UDP, mixed UDP/TCP delivery and recovery, adaptive network/port routing, detecting and defeating bandwidth throttling and packet shaping.
