“Solution-Soft's compressor GDZIP has saved us a considerable amount of storage space, and backup time. Since our partners also use the compressors we both benefit from shorter, more reliable and more secure ftp transfers."
Juergen Geissler
Tapeout Engineer

"I have proven to myself that a SafeVelocity client to SafeVelocity server transfer is faster than standard FTP and does not require additional compress/decompress time at both end as would be necessary when transmitting GZIP data. That is to say you don't compress anything beforehand; you let SV do it on the fly at both ends…You guys are head and shoulders above every other product I am doing throughput testing with (for uncompressed data) and no other product comes close to meeting our worldwide transfer needs.”

"The Tape-out Operations group at Xilinx has been using Solution-Soft's MEBES and GDSII compression tools for several years. With the read and write capability of compressed files now integrated with Synopsys' CATS fracture software, this solution eases our manufacturing preparation burden. Now that we don't have to uncompress files, especially the large MEBES files, we gain a great convenience and a considerable productivity enhancement, as well as save additional investments into infrastructure like file storage servers. Other advantages are faster transfer time of files to our foundry partners overseas and faster restore times from the archive."

"We improved our file transfer times on our 150MB file from 1 hour and 30 minutes to 11 minutes using SafeVelocity!"

"SafeCapacity-Hotfile's ability to clearly identify the most active files on a system, combined with its "pass-through" file access relocation, will provide an enormous benefit to our customers. When combined with BiTMICRO's E-Disk solid state disk device, users will be able to continuously maintain optimum file I/O performance without having to reconfigure their applications."

"We just had another tapeout and with gdzip, it went most smoothly than before!"

“Because our design databases are among the largest in the industry, Xilinx' need for file compression is probably as great as any other company’s. The increasing size of our design files affects all areas from online disk space needs to archive media capacity needs to file transfer needs.”

"I have proven to myself that a SafeVelocity client to SafeVelocity server transfer is faster than standard FTP and does not require additional compress/decompress time at both ends as would be necessary when transmitting GZIP data. That is to say you don't compress anything beforehand; you let SV do it on the fly at both ends. A recent real world example from earlier in the week had a user spend 8-10 hours at his location doing a TAR/ GZIP on a 232 GB GDS data set, and then sending the resultant 100GB GZIP file using standard FTP at standard FTP throughput rates. The transfer would have taken about 25 hours (if it had completed) and would have been followed by another number of hours at the receiving end for the required UNZIP/ UNTAR operations. SafeVelocity transferred the entire 232 GB of original uncompressed GDS files in 20 hours (achieving effective throughput rates beyond those of the underlying physical circuit) and restarted itself four times during that period because of network issues.”
