OVERVIEW
Cydex is an enterprise-class file transfer management platform based on the Caton Engine. With transmission speeds of up to 400 times faster than traditional solutions, Cydex breaks through the traditional bottlenecks in sending large files anywhere they need to go.
Featuring advanced user management, security and workflow automation, Cydex provides a secure and fast way for your organization to share files, all with the ease of sending an email.
Cydex transfers files without limitation on size and type, from a simple text file to massive 4K video files. Cydex optimizes CPU and bandwidth performance to provide the fastest and most secure file transfers possible.
Traditional file transfer technologies such as FTP were never designed for long distance transfers such as the cross-border and cross-continent demands of today’s Internet. Caton’s F2TP provides best-in-class optimization of data links for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint regardless of file size or bandwidth. Internal optimization algorithms provide for maximum throughput on any network connection, even through highly managed firewall infrastructures.
Powered by The Caton Engine
Cydex is a suite of server and client applications that accelerate file transfer speeds hundreds of times faster than FTP. Utilizing Caton’s proprietary Caton Engine for file transfer technology, Cydex overcomes the limitations created by high network latency and packet loss.
Based on powerful, optimized protocols that work transparently over existing networks, the Caton Engine gives users a simple, easy-to-use interface for moving data files and streams around the Internet. These protocols use adaptive algorithms and real-time monitoring of network conditions to ensure the best possible Bandwidth Utilization Ratio (BUR) regardless of line latency or quality.
Based on the foundations of Caton’s R2TP Engine, F2TP brings the power and scalability of the Caton Engine to managed file transfers. F2TP provides highly accelerated, enterprise-class file transfer with end-to-end security.
FEATURES
File Transfers
Unlimited File Size Transfer
Cydex supports large file transfers with no file size limitation. You can transfer a terabyte file via Cydex just like sending an email. With Cydex, there is not only an increase in file transfer speed, but also assurance in transfer success through integrity checking of the transferred file.
Auto Resume. Auto Recovery
Cydex supports auto resume for the upload and downloading of files, allowing you to continue a transfer when you need to change your location. Cydex will automatically check the file and recover missing packets to ensure file transfer success.
Simultaneously Upload and Download
Optimized for Sequential Frames in Post Production
Cydex supports the simultaneous uploading and downloading of files while other file transfers are taking place. This feature saves time as it allows multiple file transfers concurrently freeing the client up from waiting for one transfer to complete before executing another transfer.
In Post Production, clients are faced with not only large files sizes but also large numbers of files to transfer including 3-D model files, composited, and rendered files. Cydex is optimized to manage both file size and file quantity to support the demands of today's post environments.
