It does what it says and it’s expensive. There’s a couple of commercial packages like this - two that come to mind are vcinity and Signiant. A solution can be made but every time I look at the market you find very few customers with a real need to move terabytes that can’t solve their problem with a snowball-style solution. Those that do usually also have the economics to justify a commercial package.


Don't know about vcinity, but Signiant was always a marketing-heavy, engineering-light organization. Their focus was on user convenience features, and they almost ignored actual transit engineering.


I don't doubt that it works, I'm more interested in how.
