In this paper the authors describe the benefits of the exploitation of novel and comprehensive end-to-end solutions for fast and reliable data transmission over wide area networks. Therefore, similarities of usage scenarios in media production and in scientific environments are emphasized. A brief motivation of the emergence of a comprehensive fast data transport solution called TIXstream is given. Hereby, the authors lay the focus on the overall system performance instead of considering a mere description of transport layer issues. Performance-critical functional blocks are identified and their impact on the overall performance is discussed. Performance results of the TIXstream solution, FTP- and Grid-FTP applications are compared.
