How to use Resilio Connect to improve SCCM distribution
Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) is commonly used to centrally manage large number of devices. You’re probably using it for security compliance, patching, and auditing of Windows machines. Frequently, updates need to be distributed to remote offices and remote devices, and that’s where Connects powerful distribution and synchronization capabilities can augment or replace SCCM’s […]
Software on the edge
In our latest installment of “Industries on the Edge,” we’ll explore a scene of massive innovation and transformation in an industry that’s become a catalyst for change in all others. An industry that signals its unprecedented agility with terms of art like “continuous improvement”, “continuous integration” and “continuous deployment”. It’s also an industry being driven […]
What’s old is new again: Industries on the edge
Have you ever noticed the technology industry has a peculiar habit of repackaging things we’ve always done as something totally new and revolutionary? For example, putting computers in dedicated rooms where they can be cared for by operational experts is a practice as old as computing itself. But refer to this as “the Cloud” and […]
On the edge: The only real problem is scaling
“The only real problem is scaling. All others inherit from that one.” — Mike O’Dell, Chief Scientist, UUNet Building and running applications at the edge of the network is a complex exercise in distributed systems engineering. And the challenge is often one of operations and scale. When we think of scaling challenges at the edge, […]
Real-Time File Synchronization
How to implement a scalable real-time synchronization solution for any file, folder or app size, over any network infrastructure, if you can’t or won’t use the cloud.

What’s the difference between peer to peer and client server?
In this blog post, we will look into client-server architecture, compare it to peer-to-peer, and find out exactly when client-server is better than P2P. For those of you who aren’t willing to spend few minutes reading through the article, I’ll give an immediate answer – peer-to-peer is always better than client-server. The client-server architecture is […]
Reaching ExaByte Data Scale
Early in my career, when I was still running BitTorrent, I would frequently give talks highlighting the incredible scaling challenges that exist at the edge of the network. To make the point, I liked to riff on a popular report published by Cisco that was called the ExaByte Era. It documented the exponential growth in […]
How to Make a Virtual Data Center with your Existing Infrastructure
Before starting Resilio, one of the coolest applications of BitTorrent technology I ever saw was when some of the world’s largest technology companies started using the protocol to upgrade operating systems at massive scale in minimal time. I believe Twitter was the first, with a system written by Larry Gaeda (now the founder/CEO of Envoy, […]
