•Discovery estimates that it has seen a 700 to 800 percent improvement in file transfer rate over 1Gb/s Link since implementing Signiant.

Customer Reaction

21

•"We evaluated several hardware and software vendors to find a tool that would help us manage and accelerate the transfer of digital content from one coast to the other, … with Signiant, we found a proven software-based solution that not only provides us with WAN acceleration, but the ability to intelligently allocate bandwidth, and centrally manage, track and approve file transfers. Signiant will serve as the foundation of our bi-coastal digital media distribution strategy".
