Pocket Soft's Bona Fides

Summary

It's long been recognized that the great bulk of corporate data consists of redundancies. Past attempts to send just the unique bytes failed because the byte-level differencing engines required massive amounts of system memory, disk accesses and time to achieve maximum compression.

Pocket Soft's patented new technology, dfc-gorilla, eliminates these problems. It provides maximum byte-level compression ratios with minimal impact on your system resources. It enables byte-level differencing solutions in a wide variety of applications which were previously either impractical or impossible because the byte-level differencing requirements often exceeded available resources.

Typical compression ratios of 90-95% are achieved. Ratios of 99% are not unusual. As little as 32-64MB of RAM and no temporary disk space or swap files are required.

File access is sequential. dfc-gorilla uses a single read pass during data comparison, with no backward seeks. It's ideal for situations that involve costly seeks (tape media), or in cases where back-seeking is not possible (streaming), this file access approach is unlike any previous byte-level difference technology.

The time to identify and encode the byte-level differences between data files is linear with respect to input file sizes. Previous technologies require quadratic runtime.

Your successful implementation is guaranteed. Try it before you buy it. You install at your site with your data. Our software engineers provide e-mail and voice support as needed, all at no cost to you.

dfc-gorilla proven in heavy use by major Fortune 500 companies such as Bloomberg, Fujitsu, Sony and United Airlines.

dfc-gorilla is a powerful innovation which produces immediate, measurable results.
