Companies that depend on the transfer of large files – such as video and design files – lose valuable time and productivity waiting for data to download. FastSoft’s Aria product line decreases the file transfer wait time for clients, employees, partners and suppliers with a single-box tool that does not require any hardware or software on the receiving end.
