THE ABILITY TO transfer large video files quickly and reliably over the internet is a must-have. Modern media companies need simple, flexible and affordable intelligent file acceleration software to support the unique conditions of a distributed workforce. WHAT YOU NEED TO SHORE UP YOUR REMI TECH STACK 1 File Acceleration Remote teams under high pressure must move quickly to meet tight deadlines. The more globally dispersed your workforce, the more important speed becomes. Ensuring your files get where they need to go as quickly as possible is mission critical. 2 No File-Size Restrictions Many off-the-shelf online transfer tools have potentially crippling file limits. At

best they’re slow; at worst unusable. The power of remote work ultimately lies in its flexibility. Limiting what you can transfer by file size almost entirely defeats the purpose. 3 Checkpoint Restart You’ve edited a file from home that somebody needs ASAP. Midway through your upload, the transfer is interrupted and stalls. You must start it over again. If left running overnight – more time is lost. Checkpoint Restart automatically continues a transfer from the point of failure. 4 Easy, Yet Powerful Web-Based Administration Managing a remote workforce must not devolve into chaos. Delegated administration, storage configuration, access control and permissions, reporting and notification settings make it easy for admins, operations personnel and IT professionals to track all file activity. Training and onboarding new users and partners must be simple. 5 Storage Options Confidently controlling asset storage is essential. Some tools force you to use storage that’s owned and operated by the tool’s creators. Software that offers storage independence allows organisations to decide where their files live, giving remote team members access from many different locations and times.
