GlobalSCAPE Reveals WAFS Version 5

Globalscape Inc., a secure information exchange company, has made its collaborative software program WAFS 5 available. This version of WAFS (Wide Area File Services) has updates to stability, performance and security. The software streamlines enterprise collaboration and decreases bandwidth usage.

Version 5 highlights include:

• Eight times faster upload performance and 10 times faster download performance.
• Increased transparency of file replication activities between servers and desktops.
• Reduced bandwidth utilization for data transfers.
• Enhanced synchronization engine for file collaboration.

“As work environments become increasingly distributed, real-time collaboration on large, critical files such as spreadsheets, CAD drawings, engineering blueprints, or MRI images is an ever-more vital business imperative. Working with colleagues and partners distributed across the globe—without frustrating slowness, costly delays, consistency errors, or versioning problems—is a huge advantage to employee efficiency and productivity. With WAFS 5, distance and file size is not an issue. Complex files can be sent over a WAN at LAN speeds and are accessible to end users across multiple offices around the world,” says Greg Hoffer, vice president of Engineering at Globalscape.
