FTP Replacement for the Oil and Gas Industry

Share:

IT departments for oil and gas companies often face an uphill battle to meet industry file transfer demands. Like many other industries, oil and gas companies are concerned with speed and security when transferring data, but they must also consider the possible complications transferring very large files across vast distances.

Extremely Large File Transfers

File size limitations are at the forefront of the IT department’s collective consciousness when deciding how best to transfer files in the oil and gas industry. Oil and gas exploration companies with energy services such as wireline operations often need to take snapshots of wells to detect oil or natural gas hydrocarbons and the log files of these snapshots can be up to 20 gigabytes. Many older tools such as VPN connections or FTP servers simply were not designed to handle transfers with files of that magnitude. With the Thru platform, no file is too big to transfer. Oil and gas exploration companies can confidently transfer files with no size limitations.
