A leading global consumer products company has identified 7 use cases within their organization for Velocity, which demonstrates the software’s strong versatility:

1. Low Cost DR (Disaster Recovery) for databases (Oracle, SAP, SQL). Velocity saves millions of dollars a year in software licenses by allowing database backups to be sent to DR facilities without the need for additional data base licenses for restore operations.
2. Document archive cloud centralization. Different geographies have differing requirements for retention of documents; for example, the USA is 7 years, Europe is 11 years. By implementing a central cloud structure for document archiving and servicing via Velocity, users can be guaranteed regulatory compliance as well as high speed document movement.
3. FTP server consolidation. By using Velocity as an intelligent, policy-driven “hot folder” on users’ desktops, unwieldy FTP server use can be replaced, and files can be consolidated and sent via Velocity’s high-performance and secure process to their destination immediately or on a set schedule.
4. File Synchronization to regional hubs. Similar to FTP server consolidation, files can be migrated to a central data center for access at any time.
5. LAN-based performance increase. Velocity uses up to 100% of any available bandwidth, so for certain large file-intensive movements (databases, documents, video, images), Velocity can be used to send file 3-6 times faster over GbE LANs.
6. Reduce bandwidth cost. By using Velocity to enable transmission of files over the public Internet instead of via dedicated lines, millions of dollars of cost savings can be realized. Since the Internet is inherently “multi-path” by its nature, there is no chance of line failure, and the use of Velocity’s high-speed in-flight security allows transfer of critical data over public networks.
7. ISO image distribution. When either physical or virtual servers fail or their images have to be transmitted to alternate locations, large files like ISO images can be moved much more quickly using Velocity, saving down time.
