Rake Technology - Overview

Rake allows you to send files that are tool large for email easily and securely.

With Rake you can:

• Attach files of unlimited size to emails

• Secure files for transmission with the same (AES) encryption used by U.S. Government

• Compress your files using the latest zip standard

• Ensure only your intended recipient(s) can receive your files

• Manage the full life cycle of files (automated time to live)

• Send those files "outside your mail box"

• Retract messages after they have been sent

• Receive notification when files are delivered

Save Time whilst reducing costs

The ability to share information quickly, effortlessly and inexpensively is a prerequisite for transparent collaboration and the cost savings will become immediately evident after implementing RAKE Technology.

Delivering large attachments is a huge burden on email infrastructure, with RAKE technology implemented this burden is removed, reducing down time, costs and increasing the efficiency of mission critical email.

Email is used by the majority of employees many times every day, it is a comfortable place for users to work and is the obvious choice for implementing a file delivery solution.

RAKE integrates directly with the email client providing powerful file attachment and delivery tracking tools in a familiar interface.

When you want to send files from A to B, you want it done as quickly and efficiently as possible, with traditional couriers you are generally limited to next day delivery.

RAKE technology allows you to send your files within minutes not days, the architecture employed means the files are both sent AND received quickly when compared to other solutions.

Without having to use a messenger service or courier delivering large files with RAKE saves money since the transaction is 100% electronic.

Why choose Rake?

There are many solutions to enable you to send large files; these range from a simple hosted web form to dedicated server applicanes.

Most companies will tell you how much easier their solution is than maintaining FTP servers and accounts.

We take a different approach, the fact remains that FTP is one of the backbones of the entire Internet, almost ALL web pages we view are uploaded via FTP, this means:

• FTP is very reliable for large file transfers

• There are Millions of servers running FTP / HTTP

We have developed a solution that takes all the advantages of FTP whilst eliminating the disadvantages, with our solution files are encrypted by the sender before being sent thus eliminating security issues over FTP.

Rake requires only ONE FTP account to service thousands of users, thus eliminating the "FTP account maintenance headaches". 

Rake provides the "clever stuff" and will plug into to ANY web server whether that is hosted internally by your company, hosted externally or hosted by us.

All you need to run Rake is our web based software and a web server with FTP access.

The end user Rake experience is powered by Java applets, this means there is nothing for the sender or recipient to install. 

Sending large files securely is only half the problem, recipients must also be able to EASILY receive those files, with Rake the recipent clicks a link and the download is then fully automated as the files are downloaded and decrypted by the Java Applet at the recipnets workstation.
