On AWS, CloudDat is available from the AWS Marketplace, and can be consumed in hourly increments for $1.50, plus the hourly cost of the instance you’re running CloudDat on. CloudDat aims to minimize the time taken to get that data into the cloud by filling the available bandwidth between your network and the public cloud network.ĬloudDat is available on AWS, GCP, Azure, and Oracle Cloud. Moving large data sets from your local data center into the public cloud for processing is time-consuming. The application for CloudDat is straightforward. On April 24, 2017, Data Expedition announced CloudDat, a new use-case for MTP/IP aimed at organizations needing to move data into and out of the public cloud. Use cases for Data Expedition include moving large data files over wide area networks including the Internet (Disney, Amagi, Harris, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia), and predictable access to data over unpredictable infrastructure (Associated Press, LexisNexis).

Many Data Expedition customers leverage MTP/IP using ExpeDat, a “drop in replacement for conventional FTP applications.” In this model, customers license an ExpeDat server for a certain number of simultaneous connections, and are able to distribute the client freely both within the company and to partners who might have need of the accelerated transfer service. The Data Expedition application using the proprietary MTP/IP worries about it. That means that the network part of the communications stack doesn’t have to worry about packet delivery. embedded at the application layer, rather than the transport layer.
MTP/IP isn’t actually a new type of IP protocol, like TCP (IP protocol 6) or UDP (IP protocol 17) or even OSPF (IP protocol 89). Rather, MTP/IP is UDP with flow control, acknowledgements, etc. Data Expedition’s MTP/IP is about figuring out just how much data can be sent through a link, and sending just that much–but no more. WAN op is more about reducing the number of bits on the wire using tokenization, deduplication, and compression and eliminating round trips via local acknowledgments and application proxies. WAN optimization isn’t primarily about filling pipes. In that sense, you might think that MTP sounds an awful lot like WAN optimization, but it really isn’t. MTP was designed as a transport that can run at maximum, pipe-filling efficiency without human intervention no matter what the link bandwidth and conditions are between two MTP endpoints. TCP doesn’t cope as efficiently as it might with latency, congestion, and packet loss. MTP stands for “multipurpose transaction protocol.” MTP was built to overcome the algorithmic challenges TCP has filling pipes. If you’re a network engineer used to seeing TCP/IP or UDP/IP, then MTP/IP would catch your attention.
