High‑Speed Large‑File Transfers Without the High Price Tag

In business, we’re often told that speed costs money.

The bigger your data and the faster you need to move it, the more infrastructure you’re expected to buy. That assumption kept many of us tolerating slow uploads and expensive file‑transfer appliances for years.

Until Zapper changed the game.

The Myth: High Speed Equals High Spend

If you run a modern business — especially in software, design, media, or manufacturing — you know the pain of moving huge files: CAD drawings, HD videos, system logs, or medical archives.

Using Google Drive or Dropbox might seem easy, but they usually cap out at 30–60 Mbps real-world upload speeds. Uploading a 1.3 GB file can take 3 to 9 minutes.

Traditional SFTP is even slower, often crawling at 10–50 Mbps — that’s up to 12 minutes for a single file.

To go faster, enterprises end up purchasing specialized appliances or private circuits. Speed comes at a cost — or so we thought.

Real-World Benchmark — No Fancy Hardware

Zapper turns that logic upside down.

In a recent test, we uploaded a 1.3 GB file to Azure Blob Storage using just a 128 Mbps broadband connection — no dedicated lines, no enterprise routers, no tricks.

Result? 115 seconds.
That’s 1 minute 55 seconds — or nearly 90 Mbps sustained throughput.

Zapper achieved 70% utilization of the available bandwidth. In contrast, most file-sharing tools waste half your pipe — using only 30–50% — which means longer wait times and frustrated teams.

And the best part?

🟢 It ran on standard compute SKUs
🟢 No local storage buffers
🟢 No bloated memory usage

Just a clean, efficient stream from source to cloud.

Why Zapper Delivers More with Less

Here’s what makes Zapper lean yet lightning fast:

✅ Cloud-native architecture — Streams directly to object storage
✅ Parallel chunked uploads — Maximizes available bandwidth
✅ No local buffering — Uses less memory and disk
✅ Adaptive stream control — Adjusts in real-time to network conditions
✅ Resumable transfers — Recovers smoothly from interruptions

Unlike old-school SFTP or bloated sync clients, Zapper removes friction at every step.

Deployment is simple:
Just spin up a container, plug in your credentials, and go live. Your team can be transferring massive files in minutes — at near-line speeds, with zero hassle.

High Performance Doesn’t Need a High Budget

Zapper keeps your infrastructure lean:

• No need to upgrade bandwidth or buy expensive servers

• Runs on commodity VMs and works with your existing stack

• Comes with enterprise-grade encryption, Azure-native support, and full compliance features

All without the price tag of legacy systems or “enterprise” file tools.

That’s not just fast — that’s efficient.

Moving Forward — Faster, Cheaper, Smarter

Here’s the big takeaway:

You don’t need massive infrastructure to move massive files.

Zapper proves that high-speed, large-file transfers can be done with commodity internet and compute — no specialized circuits, no big spend.

If your current file transfer solution is slowing you down or costing too much, it’s time to upgrade.
