RMDT / Dataclone for fast, reliable media transfer over existing IP networks

Media workflows depend on moving large files between studios, archives, broadcasters, cloud services, research sites, and production partners. The links often already exist; distance, latency, jitter, and packet loss are what make conventional tools use only part of the available bandwidth.

RMDT is a UDP-based transport technology for high-capacity WAN paths where TCP tools such as SFTP, rsync, or FTP lose efficiency under real network conditions.

Dataclone turns RMDT into an on-premise workflow: agents run on customer systems, payload moves directly between hosts, and a control plane handles orchestration, monitoring, retry, and API integration.

Why it matters

• Use existing IP infrastructure
  Standard IP networks; no multicast, special routers, or proprietary network hardware required.
• Move payload directly between agents
  The control plane coordinates the job, while large media files flow directly from host to host.
• Handle difficult WAN paths
  Built for long-distance, high-bandwidth links affected by latency, jitter, and packet loss.
• Operate transfers as a workflow
  Browser operation, retry, transfer history, scheduling concepts, monitoring, and API integration.
• Prepare for distribution scenarios
  Point-to-point and point-to-multipoint models support replication, distribution, and synchronized delivery.

Relevant IBC workloads

• 8K, RAW, and large media file transfer
• Remote post-production exchange
• Archive and disaster-recovery replication
• Broadcast, playout, and media-distribution workflows
• Cloud, on-premise, and hybrid media movement
• Research, simulation, and technical data transfer
• Package, firmware, or content distribution to several sites

Validate it on your own path

The useful proof is a controlled test on the real workflow:

1. Select one representative source and destination.
2. Measure the current transfer method.
3. Run Dataclone / RMDT under the same conditions.
4. Compare throughput, reliability, retry behavior, and operational fit.

Research-backed. Product-oriented.

RMDT comes from Future Internet Lab Anhalt research. Dataclone brings it into an on-premise transfer product for media, archive, infrastructure, and research workflows.
