Workflow: Raysync & The Monk Studio

In the first half of 2022 enterprises are facing a "great shock" in the global layout, and international trade, cross-border investment, and population mobility have all experienced an unprecedented sudden drop trend. In the complex domestic and international environment, the offline business operation of enterprises is blocked, the online business is surging, and the problem of slow cross-border file transfer is exposed again. Three major problems, such as the rapid increase of data volume, inefficient transfer of large files, and unstable cross-border transfer, are forcing modern enterprises to enhance their digital operation capability. In dealing with the problem of cross-border file transfer, the key point is that due to the influence of network physical conditions, traditional FTP, mail, and instant messaging tools will have high latency, high packet loss rate, and insecure data transfer stability and file transfer quality. If modern enterprises want to make a global layout, they must face the problem of the cross-border file transfer. In view of the above problems, we analyze the solution of cross-border file transfer with Raysync. The obstacles of the cross-border file transfer: 1. Speed Due to the influence of network physical conditions, the high latency and high packet loss rate of transnational WAN seriously affect the stability of data transfer. Especially in the face of increasing data volume, it aggravates the slow transfer speed and low transfer efficiency caused by network congestion, latency, and packet loss, but ordinary enterprises often do not have this technical solution ability. 2. Security There are certain security risks in cross-border file transfer tools and transfer processes. For example, FTP, a free file transfer tool, in not encrypted, and FTP script and batch files keep user ID and password publicly, which is vulnerable to hacker attacks. In the process of transfer, the hard disk transfer is at risk of damage and loss, while the non-compliant file transfer software has an unsafe connection, so it is easy to leak and steal the transmitted data in the process of data transfer. 3. Cost In order to obtain professional technical support and high-quality and reliable service, some large enterprises will choose international special lines provided by telecom operators or secondary operators. However, this method is not only long in the application period, but also extremely expensive, which is unbearable for SMEs. More importantly, international private lines also have congestion problems during international time, and their transfer performance will still be greatly affected by high concurrency. If you want to make a global layout, how can modern enterprises solve the problem of GB or even TB file data and provide it to overseas customers and global branches efficiently and stably? How can improve file sharing efficiency? 1. Solve the technical problems from the root Transport layer protocols TCP and UDP, UDP has a great advantage in speed. Based on UDP transfer performance, Raysync high-speed transfer protocol independently developed by Raysync breaks through the defects of traditional FTP and HTTP transfer, and the transfer rate is increased by 100X and the bandwidth utilization rate is increased to 96%. Intelligently accelerate the transfer in the whole process, avoid the high packet loss rate caused by network latency, greatly accelerate the efficiency of file outgoing, and the multi-dimensional transfer mode meets the extremely fast transfer requirements of TB-level large files and massive small files. 2. Bank standard encryption protection Raysync is based on SSL encryption transfer protocol, adopts AES-256 encryption technology of international top financial level, and has built-in CVE vulnerability scanning, which adds multiple defense walls for data information, effectively resists external attacks, ensures the privacy of the transfer process, and ensures the integrity and safety of file data transfer. 3. The file verification mechanism is stable Breakpoint resume and automatic retransmission mechanism are adopted in the whole process, and multiple file verification mechanisms are built in to ensure the integrity and accuracy of transfer results and ensure stable and reliable transfer efficiency in ultra-remote and weak network environment. 4. Clarify the demand control costs Only when the capital investment is directly proportional to the functional requirements can the input cost be maximized. For the file transfer requirements such as single large file transfer, transnational file transfer, massive small file transfer, P2P accelerated transfer, object storage solution, or the functional requirements such as file accelerated transfer, file outgoing, file management, etc., a set of mature solutions for Raysync has three matching schemes. For enterprises and teams, it is an effective way to control costs. In response to the upstream and downstream integration of business and accelerating the globalization of enterprises, the high-speed large file transfer solution provided by Raysync can drive the high-speed transfer of global data and enable enterprises to respond quickly in the fierce industry competition.

Many organizations rely on transferring large files from the field or between international offices. Operating through Internet links poses challenges to many standard applications: their performance is poor and transfer may fail. A common example cited by accelerated file transfer application vendors is the file transfer protocol, also known as FTP. Of course, FTP will encounter problems when running on poor quality networks, which have high error rates or long latency related to international and satellite links. In order to improve the efficiency of file transfer, AFT suppliers provide their own applications instead of FTP, thus forcing customers to adopt this AFT technology and integrate it into their existing workflow. Whether FTP or any other application using the basic TCP protocol, the problem is not the application, but the network. FTP can really perform well through high-quality links, so why replace applications to solve network problems? The key to fast file transfer is enough bandwidth and error-free connection. Raysync transfer protocol has been independently developed by Raysync, which is dedicated to meeting the data transfer needs of internal or external partners of enterprises, providing efficient and controllable accelerated transfer of large files, ultra-long-distance, transnational network data transfer, safe outgoing of file assets, file management and organization authority management, supporting local deployment and cloud services, and providing enterprises with safe, stable, efficient and convenient technical support and services for large file interaction. 1. Fast speed The transfer speed is hundreds of times faster than FTP and HTTP, which runs full of bandwidth to the maximum extent and does not affect other network traffic. 2. High efficiency Mass high-speed file transfer softwares is 6000 times faster than FileZilla in the same network environment. 3. Transfer is unlimited Cross-regional and transnational big data replication, migration or archiving can transfer at least 100TB of data every day. Raysync provides self-controllable, secure, and private multi-industry data transfer solutions, and helps customers build information channels and integrate data resources.

What's Shadow IT? Gartner analyst Simon Mingay wrote in a research report that Shadow IT in a broad sense includes "investment in the acquisition, development and/or operation of IT solutions outside the formal control of formal IT organizations". To put IT simply, Shadow IT refers to a department or individual who uses IT-related hardware or software without knowing the IT or security group in the organization. In reality, employees in general enterprises rely on software that has not been approved by IT departments. Business departments bypass IT departments and use applications on the cloud to complete their work efficiently and quickly. These are also called "shadow IT". Although "shadow IT" and "business value" doesn't sound directly related, using shadow IT is quite simple and direct. But when shadow IT was exposed, IT revealed many security vulnerabilities to IT departments. Enterprise employees can easily bypass the IT team's approval, but they cannot check the reliability and security of the selected application in depth. Employees unconsciously input important enterprise data into unauthorized cloud services, which makes enterprise data security a gamble directly. In fact, nearly 80% of employees in general enterprises rely on this software that has not been approved by IT departments. Faced with this situation, what should IT leaders do if they find that these unsafe applications are being used by employees or are sharing sensitive information? It's obvious that it's natural to react quickly and demand that these applications be stopped immediately and that employees who violate the company's data security regulations be punished. However, the value gained by IT leaders from the discovery of Shadow IT is equally important for future IT decisions. What is the problem with Shadow IT? If IT executives find that employees are using free file sharing applications, the next step is to find out why employees use them. For what reason do so many employees bypass FTP and other systems and secretly use these applications for file sharing? Only by breaking the root cause of Shadow IT entering the enterprise can we improve the current situation of the enterprise and truly protect the data security of the enterprise. It's easy to find out that many employees express their weakness in the processing efficiency of existing enterprise application systems. FTP is time-consuming and complex, and email is limited by attachment volume, so professional software procurement costs are high. The huge amount of data and the impatient urging of customers make them need a fast way to transfer files. Although the situation of each enterprise is different, fundamentally, the biggest reason for employees to use these file transfer software is that they can handle their work at any time and anywhere with a low cost or even zero cost. Breaking Shadow IT and Solving Enterprise Application Compliance Problems Recognizing the above problems, we will find that it is not enough to order employees to stop using unsafe file sharing applications. No matter how hard IT leaders try to control the organization's data, employees can choose unsafe solutions. Enterprises can choose compliance solutions such as Raysync. The goal of Raysync is to help enterprises and IT departments solve the normative problems of file sharing and provide easy-to-use and high-speed file transmission solutions for enterprise employees to improve office efficiency. Enterprises using Raysync software can use account management to help control file flow, and the high-speed transfer engine independently developed by Raysync can meet the extreme speed transfer of TB-level large files and massive small files. Raysync is flexible enough to meet the various demands of enterprises. At this stage, Raysync introduces the flow version, which can be purchased by enterprises according to their needs. Enjoy the file transfer service of Raysync professional version at low cost, effectively control the cost consumption, eliminate the waste of resources, and realize the cost optimization. It provides a one-stop enterprise-level large file transfer solution, and it is an efficient way to obtain policy cooperation between employees and companies.

Data transfer has played an important role for enterprises to conduct business with its customers, partners and suppliers while acting as its foundation in mining data value. However, the emergence of the Big Data era has spawned a massive amount of data, while various data types and interactive scenarios have become increasingly complex, the efficiency and security of data transfer is also facing its challenges. If enterprises desire to continue extract value and create opportunities, the foremost priority is to tackle data transfer. Challenges: Large File Transfer ● While the amount of data has skyrocketed, the transfer efficiency is still poor; ● Data types are diverse and traditional transferring methods are difficult to guarantee its integrity; ● Network environment is complex while the cases of data loss and leakage are increasing; ● Cross-regional and long-distance teamwork has increased, but high latency and high packet loss rate have also become prominent. The key to solving the challenges above is to find a first-class data transfer engine. This would eminently support enterprises to build a high-speed, secure, and stable environment for data transfer, which brings an edge to lead in a data-driven development. The Great TCP Bottleneck Transfer protocol is the foundation beneath every data transfer, in which TCP is the most commonly used IP transport layer protocol. Compared to other protocols, TCP is able to provide a more reliable service for establishing connections between specific network systems and applications. Originally developed in the early 1970s when networks were still local and data files were small, TCP served as the basic protocol which enabled data to move efficiently and reliably within the local area network with very small bandwidth. To maintain this reliability, TCP ensures that the application data transmitted in a single TCP connection arrives at the receiver’s application in the same sequence as when it was sent. Therefore, TCP uses an algorithm to establish the connection between the sender and receiver, creating transfer requests in turn, and splitting the data into packets, which are then sent separately through the network without the need for acknowledgement until reaching its definition limit. . The sliding window protocol is used by TCP to define the data buffer. Figure 1 below is a simplified diagram that demonstrates how TCP sends out small packets over the network and how TCP windowing controls how much data can be transmitted without acknowledgement. As the packets are delayed, TCP will then slow down the transfer rate with a smaller window size, which further limits the number of unacknowledged packets allowed. TCP algorithm is proved to be effective when data transfer occurs over a short distance while the network is not congested. However, when the round trip time of packet transfer is inevitably increased by distance, both the performance and efficiency shall be affected. Especially under the scenarios of long-distance, transnational transfer, the transfer of large files and massive small files will expose the drawbacks of TCP protocol: ● Low transfer efficiency, end-to-end transfer requires sequence acknowledgement, the data processing is slow; ● Increase of data loss rate and latency when large files are transmitted; ● Extreme congestion control throttling which results in unnatural throughput loss; ● TCP cannot guarantee its reliability, its file check mechanism is imperfect. In essence, TCP cannot be defined as a reliable transfer in the true sense of the word. Especially under the pressure of data volume and distant transfer, TCP is unable to guarantee the efficiency of transfer and yet it may expose enterprises to data security threats. Raysync – A Brand New Transfer Protocol Raysync’s high-speed transfer protocol is a core transfer technology developed by Shenzhen Yunyu Technology Co., Ltd. based on the UDP transfer protocol. This breakthrough technology does not simply optimize or accelerate data transfer but it takes a leap forward in the transfer technology to completely eliminate the underlying bottleneck while overcoming the limitations of traditional network and hardware. Raysync is able to fully make use of network bandwidth thus provides an ultra-low latency, high speed and end-to-end output service. The transmission rate can be increased by nearly 100 times, achieving over 96% of bandwidth utilization rate while easily adhering to the security, controllability and stability requirements for TB-level large files and massive small files transfer. Transport Layer: A Black Tech that Overthrows the TCP Protocol The TCP transfer protocol does provide a reliable data transfer under ideal conditions, but with its fixed throughput bottleneck, a prominent and serious condition would occur due to high packet loss and latency caused by a long-distance network transfer. Raysync guarantees reliability in the application layer with an innovative method that eliminates drawbacks such as low efficiency in TCP, packet loss, processing errors and unstable transfer rate. To ensure 100% reliability, Raysync adopts the best mechanism that accurately identifies and passes on the actual packet loss condition on the transfer channel. Application Layer: Best Alternative to FTP The FTP transfer protocol has been used for more than 40 years, but it is also a fact that the efficiency of FTP file transfer has been far less than the growth rate of data in the face of today's complex file exchange requirements. FTP is even worse in the file management tasks that enterprises urgently need today. In order to transfer files while maintaining security through FTP, this requires complex scripts, continuous maintenance, and even other applications to assist. All of which may cause time and money losses to enterprises by varying degrees. Basing upon UDP’s high-speed transfer protocol, Raysync breaks through the bottleneck of large file transfer which satisfy enterprises’ needs by building an intelligent transfer platform that processes and integrates massive data at an unprecedented speed. Fast, Secure and Reliable Large File Transfer System With its high-speed transfer protocol, Raysync provides all-around support for enterprises in large file interactions and cross-platform cooperation, achieving standardization within and between enterprises. Raysync’s intelligent data compression and intermittent transfer technology can also effectively reduce the network load, providing breakpoint resume and data verification to ensure stable and reliable data transfer. The intelligent management system is able to meet the business requirements of enterprises such as data interaction, sync and backup. Raysync makes sure to quickly integrate itself into existing OA, ERP and other enterprise systems, thus effectively reducing R&D costs to achieve data file linkage between business systems and operating system platforms, avoiding data islands. While Raysync has been continuously improving its file transfer acceleration technology, it also embraces the objectives of solving enterprise file transfer management into its scope of service to a full extent, building a smart file transfer system: ● Data Synchronization Supports two-way file synchronization that maintains the consistency of data across multiple devices, ensuring no redundant fragmented files are produced and multi-point data sync are efficient. ● Point-to-point Transfer Adopts user ID to achieve point-to-point transfer, eliminating intermediate transfer for rapid file-sharing. ● Standard Bank-Level Encryption Technology With the AES-256+SSL+Random salt high-density encryption algorithm, even the developers are unable to recover the root password through the stored ciphertext, making sure the data security is worry-free. ● Audit Trails Uses transmission logs and operations logs to supervise user behavior, easily trace all operations and file content, effectively control improper usage behavior and help enterprises to achieve better file management. ● User-defined Management User-defined management perfectly plots out the organizational structure, supporting group management by defining regions, departments, and role-based permissions that set authority to standardize enterprise users' operation. ● Intelligence Nodes Management With intelligence nodes management equipped, it supports unified management of all node machines in both the internal and external network environment to monitor and collect all operation logs and data synchronously. ● Hybrid Cloud Storage Raysync supports more than 10 mainstream storage methods including hybrid storage effectively to assist enterprises to store, backup, migrate and synchronize their files in an orderly manner.

MFT means managed file transfer. The term MFT began to appear in the mid-2000s. In the field of file transfer, it is a brand-new method of data transfer that enterprises have begun to use, and it is clearly distinguished from "file transfer protocol" in the 1980s. As defined by Gartner, “Managed file transfer software and services enable users to manage and monitor file transfers within and between organizations.” In this definition, Gartner uses “manage” and “monitor” to highlight and explain the key differences between MFT and FTP. - Manage – means to manage all file transfers using one interface across all business units, operations, systems，applications, partners, etc. - Monitor – means to monitor all file transfers in one centralized location which in turn means better governance, compliance，and reduced IT costs. Driven by increasingly stringent privacy regulations and the need to quickly transfer and track files globally, many organizations are in the process of replacing their legacy FTP systems and moving towards MFT solutions. In fact, managed file transfer solutions are gaining the most momentum. We explain to you what does MFT means? At present, we easily find that no matter in the fields of health care, government, technology，or media，the information now will inevitably move around. In some cases, such data may have to leave the organization's security controls to enter customers or other business systems. The traditional file sharing way can comply with personal needs, for example, sending private messages or videos. But this kind of way does not comply with the enterprise needs. MFT is dedicated to creating a more secure and efficient IT environment within the enterprise. Enterprises that use MFT solutions often deal with sensitive information on a regular basis, making security the core of their business functions. Managed File Transfer, as the acronym implies, is a service that manages data and ensures its security during transfer. Enterprise organizations often use it, and it can get rid of slow and temporary methods such as FTP and HTTP. In the final analysis, a good MFT solution should simplify your transfer process and comply with security standards such as SSL encryption solution provided by Raysync). A good MFT solution should include: 1. The secure connection. 2. Encrypt data being stored or "still". 3. A reverse proxy that acts as a pass-through and does not write any unencrypted data to the server. 4. The ability to support an organization's security policies, such as password expiration or SSL.
