File transfer times can be drastically reduced by representing
the file data in a more efficient format before
sending it over the transfer link. The new format is more compact
than the original format and takes less time to transfer. After
the data is received at the destination it is converted back to
the original format completely and without any loss of data integrity.
FCX is so effective at converting files to a compact format,
that it can increase effective data transfer
speeds up to 90% over LAN, WAN, modem, and ISDN links,
resulting in much shorter transfer times
and reduced network congestion.
This means that a file that normally takes one hour to transfer
would take only 6 minutes.
Many companies have realized strategic benefits which allowed
them to:
Streamline central operations by having remote
data available sooner
Upload/download more data between headquarters
and satellite locations in a given time window
Transfer files successfully through networks
which corrupt files sent using other products
In addition these companies were also able to:
Collect and transfer related files in one
transfer operation
Add security since only sender and receiver
can read the data
