According to the data collected by Box Office Mojo, film industry are facing enormous crisis in front of COVID-19, not just because of the nearly empty cinemas, but also the way the whole industry works. When the crisis hit, they have to learn to attend events virtually and cooperate remotely, resulting in many new problems in team collaboration and data exchange, etc. On BaM live which was held by IABM on 22nd September, 2021, Raysync was excited to have Ben Cheung, VP of Raysync, led a discussion on how to speed up the global transfer for film productions, uncovering the impact COVID-19 has on the film industry and the importance of fast and cost-effective file transfer and its future development. In this live event, following topics are discussed: Current situation of film production What can be done to solve those problems Case studies The future of file transfer Q&A: How do you see the future of file transfer services? At the beginning of the event, Ben analyzed the current situation of film production with some infographics showing the drastic drop-down of film box office and its revenues. Besides, massive changes were made in film production environment in order to keep the staff safe. Millions went home to work and used digital technologies to continue to execute their daily tasks. That's why a fast and cost-effective data transfer solution has become more and more important in long-distance team collaboration. What can be done to solve those problems? The data volumes that need to be shared and transferred in our daily work has soared, but the traditional TCP-based transfer solution can’t help to achieve high-efficient delivery. The best alternative UDP-based file transfer solution - Raysync Among the alternative solutions to FTP, most of them are either expensive or complicated to use. Based upon Raysync UDP high-speed transfer protocol, Raysync breaks through the bottleneck of large file transfer which satisfy enterprises’ file tranfer needs by building an intelligent transfer platform that processes and moves massive data at an unprecedented speed. Raysync’s intelligent data compression technology can also effectively reduce the network loads, 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 sync and backup. Best of all, Raysync provides an SMB version that starts from $599/year! Actually, it does help a myriad of enterprises in accelerating data transfer, Ben also shared two successful cases in film post-production and render farm, respectively. Case 1 – Film Post-production Challenges: Most film and television productions are edited and created by people scattered among different firms and overseas institutions, in which a large amount of audio, video, images, and other content has to be uploaded and downloaded. This mass amount of data flow has led to low efficiency of file interactions, and the delay of the production cycle may seriously affect the production efficiency. Solutions: Raysync provides the specific audio-visual content transfer solution for the film post-production industry to accelerate the transfer of a massive amount of content through Raysync’s ultra-high-speed transfer protocol. Intelligently optimize the network bandwidth and effectively reduce the network latency and packet loss caused by transnational and ultra-long distance transfer. Eventually, the final result is beyond clients' expectations. Case 2 – Render Farm Challenges: In Render farm, the daily transfer volume is around 30TB every day, the maximum number of files for dingle transfer is around 2 million. In this sense, there needs a fast and secure transfer solution integrated to Render farm. Solutions: For Render farm, Cluster storage is an important solution to large-scale data storage systems. There are hundreds of transfer nodes established to take care 200K users around the world, with the help of Raysync, the Internet bandwidth goes for 50Gbps, and the peak bandwidth utilization is up to 90%. Raysync also supports all needs for integration, like SDL, GUI, CMD, and etc. In the end, Ben shared his insight on the future of file transfer, he thinks the future of file transfer would related to the following factors, deduplication, compression, 400Gbps super-bandwidth, and machine learning.

File transfers within and without an organization are key to business operations. However, large file transfers can be quite challenging. Some of the common problems associated with large file transfer include the following: 1. Time Restrictions: While executing a digital file transfer, there is a need to do so within a specified amount of time. Failure to do this leads to the loss of the files transferred. 2. Lack of Visibility: When users find it difficult to view their files, the error rate will increase. These inefficiencies and delays are more costly than simple errors, because they may hinder business development and undermine key business achievement. Both of these situations are not conducive to income generation and enterprise development. 3. Restricted File Types: Lots of enterprises use software that is peculiar to their industry. Sadly, this peculiarity puts them in a restricted class that prevents file transfers. 4. System Compatibility: Whether the large file transfer software can support a large number of devices from different partners and customers with different functions is burdensome and complicated. Generally speaking, most companies are unable to effectively support such large-scale file transfer. Dissatisfaction, poor user experience and data loss are just some of the problems. 5.Data Security and Regulatory Compliance: Whether the large file transfer software can support a large number of devices from different partners and customers with different functions is burdensome and complicated. Generally speaking, most companies are unable to effectively support such large-scale file transfer. Dissatisfaction, poor user experience and data loss are just some of the problems. 6. Size Restrictions: One of the challenges of file transfer is the size limit, because some software uploads or shares files with a size limit. Even after compression, many large files can't meet this limit. 7. Integrating with Existing Solutions: Infrastructure components are the key to some enterprises' management of file transfer integration. The problem of adapting to new protocols, technologies and business processes may hinder this integration. Even make the file transfer less secure, the operation is not compliant and the file is out of control. 8. High Costs: The cost of a large file transfer platform can be high. E-mail is the preferred medium for many marketers, but it is difficult to find an e-mail program that can accommodate large file transfer. This is why reputable large file transfer software is an inevitable choice for many enterprises to develop. Finally, to curb these problems, the Raysync solution was created. Rasysync can help enterprises to efficiently send and easily manage large files. The platform is simple and easy to use, and can be directly integrated with the existing system of the enterprise. All users only need to create an account, and they can upload, download and share large files synchronously.

When "Big Data" roared through the defense line of traditional information architecture and brought unprecedented commercial data and Internet information, enterprises ushered in business opportunities and faced severe challenges. How to ensure efficiency, compliance and security, and how to eliminate the threat of data governance, this requires enterprises to make clear the basic requirements of file sending and sharing. Excellent file delivery system needs at least the following 8 basic elements: 1. Content Protection Office documents/technical packages/design drawings/audio/video content... All kinds of documents have different security specifications, so enterprises need to be able to master the creation, sending, accessing and downloading of various documents and implement effective protection measures. 2. Operation Permission Correctly understand the existing organizational structure of the enterprise, accurately design and process the permissions of members and departments, and give users the corresponding functional permissions to operate files. 3. Audit Trails Strict auditing mechanisms such as service detection, vulnerability scanning, penetration scanning, and process auditing, as well as risk avoidance strategies, strengthen the enterprise data security defense line and supplement the authority system. 4. High-efficient Transmission It is not limited to file size, type and quantity, and has no fear of transnational and ultra-long-distance transmission, and always ensures efficient, stable and complete file transmission and efficient linkage of business data. 5. User Management User information, operation authority, flow control, and outgoing supervision are all kept, and internal employees and external partners are managed separately, which is suitable for complex business scenarios of enterprises. 6. Security Encryption Build enterprise data information network firewall to effectively resist network attacks and virus intrusion; Form a safe transmission mechanism to prevent the leakage of files during storage and outgoing. 7. Event Notification Equipped with the visual file management notification function, enterprises can establish contact with files and users, supervise files anytime and anywhere, and improve compliance and safety awareness for users. 8. Traceable Flow Documents can be supervised in the company, and they should be controlled outside the company. Based on the above demand points, can an enterprise choose a file delivery solution that meets its own enterprise needs? The answer is obviously not. The real solution of file delivery should not only consider the actual business needs but also analyze the enterprise's own situation. Only by combining these two to make a targeted solution, as such, the document can be achieved to the ideal effect.

With the rapid development of banking and financial technology, the business contact between banks and financial institutions is becoming more frequent. Based on abundant big data, financial institutions can make customer portraits of customer investment data, predict the needs of potential customers, and promote competitive products. According to the customers' consumption data, intelligent recommendations and risk warnings are carried out in combination with the scenario, financial data services are improved, and a scenario-based financial ecosystem is created. However, the complexity of the financial market is far more than our imagination. In recent years, it has become an important direction for banks and financial institutions to explore and practice deeply the data assets of banks, accelerate business innovation and enhance customer experience service. Financial Big Data Platform - Banking and Financial Technology Financial institutions are not native institutions in the digital field, they must undergo a long-term transformation process of demand analysis and technological revolution. The driving force behind this transformation is a variety of data, including structured data from management information within the enterprise, and more unstructured data that exists in multiple sources or is not captured within the company. Small and medium-sized micro-financial institutions have limited credit information and are difficult to credit. Although large-scale financial institutions store a large amount of valuable data, they may not be able to maximize their potential. Therefore, building a financial big data platform that supports various scenarios such as real-time analysis, interactive analysis, rapid processing, and real-time query of big data can enable enterprises to discover the value of improving customer stickiness from various complex and disorderly massive data.

The financial big data platform employs a hybrid cloud strategy that can be used to establish connectivity as well as provide protection, enabling secure connectivity to a wide range of services across the entire ecosystem. The Data Transfer Challenges Faced by Financial Big Data Platforms Financial institutions generate a lot of structured and unstructured data every day. Taking banks as an example, China UnionPay involves 4.3 billion bank cards, more than 900 million cardholders, more than 10 million merchants, and nearly 70 million transaction data every day, with core transaction data exceeding TB level. The financial business has gained a lot in the practice of big data application, which has prompted more and more data to gather in the data center, and the data scale has continued to expand, which has multiplied various pressures in the financial background, especially in data transmission: The traditional centralized architecture has low concurrency and cannot cope with the transaction surge; Data are collected, processed, applied, and analyzed, and output from financial big data service interface to internal source data. The data layer-by-layer transmission requires manual participation and cannot be responded to in time; There are many internal source systems, and it is difficult for real-time and continuous data disaster recovery backup; Risk control only supports simple real-time control of blacklists. Complex rules cannot be processed in real-time. Most of them are mainly processed afterward. It is not difficult to find that most of the data transmission problems are caused by the increase in data volume, which is why many financial institutions give priority to data volume in their structural deployment. Professional data transfer technology overcomes the transfer difficulty Raysync big data solution is a high-speed data transmission path constructed based on the entire data flow path of mass data collection, storage, query and analysis of financial institutions.
