FilesAnywhere Picks FastSoft

FastSoft, Inc. announced that FilesAnywhere, provider of enterprise and consumer remote file storage services, has selected the company’s E-Series web acceleration software to speed up file transfers from its cloud storage service.

FilesAnywhere offers businesses and consumers online file sharing and storage services, and just launched a new mobile faxing solution for smartphones that allows customers to fax documents stored in their FilesAnywhere account from virtually any location to any location.

The company installed the FastSoft E-Series appliance to provide its users with high-speed access to their documents and files. On average, the company reports that file transfers from the site are 30 percent faster with the E-Series.

FastSoft’s E-Series leverages the company’s origin content acceleration (OCA) technology, which accelerates the delivery of dynamic and non-cacheable data that is delivered from origin servers. When these servers are located far from the end user, a significant transport latency delay can often greatly slow content download speed. OCA augments content delivery networks (CDNs) and front-end optimization (FEO) technology to provide complete web performance optimization.

"We are in a highly competitive market and having a 30% performance advantage boosts customer satisfaction dramatically," said Tim Rice, founder and CEO of FilesAnywhere. "Download speed is a really big deal because we give our customers more access to their data than our competition and working with FastSoft enhances that added value."

"The adoption of cloud services has been dramatic, but has also brought with it an expectation from users that response times be as fast as they are used to from local network resources," said Ed Snyder, FastSoft CEO. "FilesAnywhere is a cloud-services pioneer with deep experience and knowledge about user experience and satisfaction, which makes it even more significant that they chose our E-Series to accelerate their service."
