Agreement Between Front Porch Digital and Data Expedition

Front Porch Digital, Inc. announced an agreement
with file-transfer software company Data
Expedition, Inc. to integrate its ExpeDat WAN acceleration product into
Front Porch Digital’s DIVArchive V7.1 CSM system.

The integration gives DIVArchive users a WAN acceleration option that is managed
and supported by Front Porch Digital, and is a direct integration of a
WAN acceleration protocol directly into a CSM cloud-based solution.

"Part of Front Porch Digital’s mission is,
literally, to partner with the world’s best technology companies to make the
content management process smoother, simpler, and more efficient – particularly
for multisite operations. Adding Data Expedition’s ExpeDat to the process is
one more way we fulfill on that mission," said Andy Hurt, VP, product
management at Front Porch Digital. "Having
direct access to ExpeDat will speed file transfers for our customers who use
DIVAnet and the cloud-based LYNX service, both of which rely on WANs for
getting data back and forth."

ExpeDat file transfer software is a fast alternative to
legacy technologies such as FTP, SFTP, HTTP, and CIFS. It eliminates TCP vulnerabilities
with the only pure-UDP file-transfer solution available.

ExpeDat uses 100% of
available bandwidth to achieve WAN file transfers that have proven to be as
much as seven times faster than with other technologies. The self-contained
clients require no installers or admin rights and have no dependence on Java or
plug-ins.

"We are extremely pleased that Front Porch
Digital has integrated Data Expedition’s accelerated file-transfer solution,
ExpeDat, into its DIVArchive system," said Seth Noble, Data Expedition
president and founder. "With Front
Porch Digital’s best-in-class media workflow and Data Expedition’s laser-like
focus on UDP-based transport technology, this partnership was a natural fit for
both companies."
