Presented by

Joshua Sargent, VP of Sales, Resilio

About this talk

Leave legacy hub-and-spoke architecture where it belongs—in the past. The future of work requires modern caching and real-time active-active synchronization, which only comes with peer-to-peer scalability. Join us for an in-depth technical comparison of traditional centralized Global File Systems (GFS) vs. Resilio Active Everywhere—a truly modern distributed file caching and synchronization solution. Learn why traditional GFS architectures limit performance, scalability, control, and choice. Discover better alternatives for real-time, multi-site file synchronization and caching. Perfect for IT architects, system engineers, and technical decision-makers managing distributed teams and infrastructure. Watch this webinar to learn: - How global file system architectures have evolved to address enterprise unstructured data growth - Critical limitations of legacy hub-and-spoke GFS implementations - Why data locality and real-time replication matter for distributed teams - Technical approaches for eliminating central bottlenecks in multi-site deployments - Architectural considerations for extending file services to remote users and edge locations - Strategies for avoiding vendor lock-in while maintaining performance
