LONG-DISTANCE & HIGH-SPEED FILE TRANSFER
Large files, fast,
over any distance.
Move large volumes of files quickly and reliably between servers, cloud and data centers in different regions, making effective use of network bandwidth.

HIGH-SPEED TRANSFER
Put your network bandwidth to work for file transfer.
Even with a high-speed network, if the transfer software cannot deliver enough throughput, large file transfers take longer.
INNORIX handles file transfer to suit the network environment, and in a validation environment between machines we observed 80–95% bandwidth utilization.

LONG-DISTANCE TRANSFER
However far apart the servers are, the transfer has to keep going.
When file transfers cross countries and continents, network round-trip latency (RTT), packet loss and congestion affect real throughput.
INNORIX is designed to transfer files in these long-distance environments, and Hyperlane long-distance acceleration can be applied when higher performance is needed.

HYPERLANE ACCELERATION
Need more speed over long distances? Hyperlane.
For work where transfer time over a long-distance network matters, Hyperlane acceleration can be applied. Compare the completion time of a standard transfer and an accelerated one on the same file and network conditions.

RELIABLE TRANSFER
When the connection drops, there is no need to start over.
Long-distance networks bring packet loss and temporary disconnections.
INNORIX copes with packet loss and, once the connection is restored, resumes the transfer using the progress already made. Data that was already sent does not have to be sent again.

TRANSFER PERFORMANCE
See transfer speed and results on the real operations screen.
During a transfer, check throughput, progress and status; after it, the volume transferred, elapsed time and final result.
Review transfer run results in INNORIX Studio and evaluate the network conditions and whether acceleration was applied.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions about
long-distance, high-speed transfer
Why do long-distance file transfers slow down?
On networks that cross countries and continents, round-trip latency (RTT), packet loss and congestion can all affect transfer throughput. Performance varies with the transfer protocol and network conditions.
Can INNORIX transfer files on a 10Gbps network?
File transfer on high-speed networks is supported. In a validation environment between specific machines we observed 80–95% bandwidth utilization; actual throughput depends on the machines, storage and network conditions.
Can 80–95% of the network bandwidth always be used?
No. That figure was observed in a specific validation environment, and the same performance is not guaranteed in every customer environment.
What is Hyperlane?
Hyperlane is INNORIX acceleration technology for raising file transfer throughput on long-distance, high-latency networks.
How much faster is a transfer with Hyperlane?
The gain depends on round-trip latency, packet loss, bandwidth, machine performance and the characteristics of the files. We recommend comparing performance under identical conditions before applying it.
If the network connection drops, does the file have to be sent again from the beginning?
Under supported recovery conditions, once the connection is restored the transfer resumes from the point of interruption, using the progress already made.
Can files be transferred even with packet loss?
Transfer features that cope with packet loss are supported. Actual throughput and recovery time depend on the loss rate and network state.
Is high-speed transfer possible between servers and the cloud?
File transfer between servers, cloud and data centers is supported. Actual speed depends on the network path, storage performance and the transfer configuration applied.
Does it apply to large files and to many small files?
Long-distance, high-speed transfer can be used for large file transfers and for processing many files. Performance by file size and count depends on the transfer environment.
Can I check transfer performance and completion results?
In INNORIX Studio you can check the run status, throughput, volume transferred, elapsed time and final result of each transfer.
Which INNORIX products include it?
The related features can be used across transfer environments such as server and cloud transfer, enterprise site-to-site transfer, and fleet-scale distribution and collection. Whether Hyperlane applies must be confirmed per product and configuration.
