Wild guess:
PSI took JES3, so maybe they also took BDT?
Yes, both JES3 and PHX-BDT are paid products. Quite obvious IMHO.
Regarding BDT - there is a variety of tools providing so called MFT -
Managed File Transfer.
By definition an MFT is functionality (just functionality, not a method)
of ftp *plus* several things:
encryption
logging (and non-repudiation)
compression
re-connect in case of temporarily broken link
file integrity (you are sure the file was not corrupted in transport)
re-starting of transmission since "last byte" transferred (you uploaded
95% of 100GB file and link has been broken? Then you have to transmit
remaining 5%).
etc.
In fact I have never used neither BDT nor Connect Direct, so I cannot
imagine what features are so unique to these tools to still use them
instead of MFT or just ftp(s).
