How much bandwidth does WAFS need?
GlobalSCAPE WAFS needs only enough bandwidth to transfer changes to modified files, not the entire file, temporary files, or unneeded system files created by the operating system. Transferring a modified file repeatedly is bandwidth intensive; GlobalSCAPE WAFS transfers only file deltas (byte-level differencing) as the file changes at any location. Transferring data as the file changes is critical. Remember, the worst time to move data is when the user requests to open the file, which is exactly what the “accelerators” do. Those accelerators make you wait and cause a bandwidth spike. GlobalSCAPE WAFS acceleration protocols and differencing technology are ultra-fast and real time. GlobalSCAPE WAFS uses byte-level differencing and compression with all data transfers, so even an initial replication of files is extremely efficient. GlobalSCAPE WAFS includes bandwidth-throttling settings, the best “chattiness” elimination, and dynamically changes packet size and other parameters to ensure o
