Resilio

Resilio Inc. provides a software platform for high-performance, peer-to-peer file synchronization and data transfer. The company was spun out of BitTorrent Inc. in 2016 by Eric Klinker, Ilan Shamir, and Konstantin Lissounov, who were part of the leadership and technical teams that created BitTorrent Sync. The founders brought extensive experience in distributed systems and networking; Klinker was the former CEO of BitTorrent Inc., Shamir served as GM of Platforms at BitTorrent and had founded and sold a previous company, and Lissounov was the co-inventor of BitTorrent Sync.

Resilio's core technology leverages a peer-to-peer (P2P) architecture, a modified version of the BitTorrent protocol, which allows every device in a network to contribute to data transfer. This decentralized model eliminates single points of failure and scales performance as more endpoints are added, enabling data transfer speeds significantly faster than traditional centralized, hub-and-spoke systems. The platform is designed for enterprise clients and offers two main products: Resilio Connect for enterprises and Resilio Sync for individuals and smaller teams. The business model for Resilio Connect is subscription-based, with pricing dependent on the specific use case and scale of deployment. A freemium model exists for Resilio Sync.

The company's primary product, Resilio Connect, is a centrally managed solution that enables businesses to synchronize and distribute large volumes of data across multiple locations, servers, and remote workers with speed and reliability. It works across various platforms including Windows, Mac, Linux, and mobile operating systems, and can be deployed on-premises, in the cloud, or in hybrid environments. Key features include WAN optimization, automation through scripting, end-to-end AES-256 encryption, selective sync, and a management console for monitoring and control. The platform serves a wide range of industries that handle data-intensive workflows, such as media and entertainment, gaming, logistics, manufacturing, life sciences, and technology. Clients include major companies like Warner Bros. Discovery, ExxonMobil, Netflix, and Cisco.
