Bandwiz Launches Software For
Enterprise Knowledge Logistics
Bandwiz, Inc., a software company operating in stealth mode for almost
three
years, announced the availability of DistributeIt, a leading edge software
solution to the complicated problem of distributing knowledge resources over
enterprise networks. DistributeIt expands the capabilities of the existing
enterprise network by enabling the secure, efficient distribution of large
files throughout extended enterprise environments. Companies can leverage
DistributeIt to deliver video-on-demand, eLearning and training materials,
large graphics, presentations, and industry regulated training compliance
materials (including HIPAA and Patriot Act compliance) throughout their
extended networking environments. In addition, DistributeIt manages the
delivery of these knowledge resources, allowing for detailed reporting on who
received the content, when it was viewed, and when it should be expired.
Enterprises are highly distributed, with more knowledge workers than ever
before. In order to do their jobs, these workers create, consume and share
digital resources through their network. However, network-centric computing is
increasingly cumbersome and inefficient for knowledge workers in remote
offices. An application that works great in headquarters will be slow to the
point of failure when it requires large amounts of data or content.
DistributeIt was built from the ground up to solve complex file
distribution
problems within the extended enterprise. Using DistributeIt, each delivery is
efficient, guaranteed, secure and auditable. DistributeIt leverages two
powerful technologies in order to provide companies with LAN-like performance
over their wide area networks. DistributeIt's powerful intelligent routing
methodology reaps the benefits of a one-to-many approach to file distribution,
while its managed grid delivery technology securely shares files within remote
offices and roaming users. The end result is that distributed enterprises
benefit from a managed knowledge delivery platform – one that can be measured,
tracked and reported upon while promising the most efficient delivery of
critical corporate resources.
"In today's economy, enterprises must be able to provide employees,
partners
and customers with accurate and timely access to information and knowledge
resources," said Joshua Duhl, contributing analyst, IDC. "A Knowledge
Logistics solution that delivers content throughout extended enterprise
environments and scales to an enterprises existing infrastructure speaks to
this need."
Utilizing the Bandwiz DistributeIt solution, enterprises with many remote
offices and roaming users can seamlessly distribute large files throughout
their extended organization. DistributeIt manages the secure, efficient, and
reliable delivery of large amounts of content, including video and audio
files, large presentations, spreadsheets, engineering drawings, and data files
to employees, partners, and customers.
Large enterprises have many remote offices and workers with slow network
connections. File sizes grow rapidly, and trying to deliver huge files to
these workers causes network congestion and frustration from long waits. With
DistributeIt, workers don't notice the network. Knowledge delivery is
efficient, effective, and economical.
DistributeIt is comprised of three software components:
- DistributeIt Manager - a delivery and usage reporting management
application that resides on a server located at corporate headquarters or a
data center. Its browser interface allows IT departments to manage the
complete delivery process.
- DistributeIt Origin - a delivery software application accessible from any
authorized employee's desktop, enabling them to securely distribute files at
any time.
- DistributeIt Agent - transparent client software that receives secured
files. The agent is completely transparent, enabling users to receive and view
files in their existing email application or corporate portal.
"Bandwiz has changed the economics of knowledge delivery by enabling world-
class enterprises to send information in the fastest, most secure and
efficient way available today," said Haim Neerman, CEO of Bandwiz.
"DistributeIt is the only software that has been built from the ground up to
solve the pressing business issues of delivering large amounts of content
throughout extended enterprises."
