SAN FRANCISCO, CA and SANTA BARBARA, CA and a leading provider
of digital content delivery acceleration over high-bandwidth IP
networks, announced today that it has entered the Macintosh market
through a new release of its popular RocketStream? file transfer
acceleration software suite. The new RocketStream 1.2, which
supports both Mac and Windows operating systems, allows users to
transfer files over private networks or over the public Internet at
speeds up to 100 times faster than traditional File Transfer
Protocol (FTP). The company will be demonstrating RocketStream at
this week's MacWorld Conference and Expo in San Francisco.
"Businesses continue to look for solutions that provide
powerful, reliable, and simple ways to move large files between
users who are geographically dispersed," said Scott Fairbairn,
RocketStream's CEO. "The Mac community is known for its innovation,
and for its creation and utilization of rich media files. Mac users
demand robust, intuitive solutions, and RocketStream provides
precisely that."
RocketStream overcomes many of the detrimental effects of
network latency on file transfers, and as a result, RocketStream
users can send large data files over long distances without
incurring the usual slowdown that such distances normally produce.
For example, over a large data pipe, RocketStream can securely
blast a 10 GB high-definition video file from Tokyo to Los Angeles
in 14 minutes instead of 22 hours.
RocketStream 1.2 has been beta tested for the past several
months by various Mac users including Photo News Media, Inc., a
Florida-based company that provides live news content to major
radio and television broadcasters from hard-to-reach locations
around the world, typically using both satellite and terrestrial
communications links. "We've been using the Mac version of
RocketStream and have been very impressed with both the performance
and the features," said Michael Lewis, Director of News Operations
at Photo News Media. "It is very fast and incredibly easy to use.
Our video journalists in the field have large files that must be
uploaded very quickly and reliably, and RocketStream has definitely
come through for us. We love this product."
Besides speed, RocketStream also provides a full set of managed
file transfer automation and security functions. Users can set up
hot folders, synchronize files with remote servers, and schedule
file transfers in advance, all while relying on RocketStream's
on-the-fly encryption and lossless compression to move data
securely and reliably. "In addition to being an accelerated file
server for corporate networks, RocketStream 1.2 is also well suited
for designers, photographers, and film producers, many of whom are
Mac users," wrote Manuel Kaiser, technology reviewer at maclife.de,
a popular online Macintosh publication based in Germany.
RocketStream 1.2 supports Macintosh computers running OS X v10.4
(Tiger) or later, as well as Windows 2000, 2003 Server, XP, and
Vista.
