FileCatalyst
Using patent pending technology, FileCatalyst provides a comprehensive file transfer solution for the enterprise. The FileCatalyst technology overcomes the delay associated with latency and packet loss, providing maximum use of available bandwidth.

Whether it is a post-production house, financial institution, engineering firm or government agency – all of these organizations face a common issue of network latency.

Latency wreaks havoc on Wide Area Networks (WANs). Lost packets, latency, and under–utilization of bandwidth significantly delay the file transfer process across networks, leading to both file processing and associated human resource inefficiencies – a waste of time and money

FileCatalyst (patent pending) overcomes the delay associated with latency and provides the maximum use of available bandwidth and speed.

FileCatalyst’s flexible architecture provides for a seamless integration into an existing workflow while maximizing the available bandwidth. Increased efficiencies through automation and raw speed provide results of 50 or more times faster than systems based on Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/FTP.

FileCatalyst Components

FileCatalyst uses the UDP protocol for the transport of data and adds reliability using a highly efficient, patent pending, retransmission and congestion control mechanism. The flow of data remains fast and efficient and can achieve full line speed with an amazingly low .25% overhead. FileCatalyst also provides a secondary, more firewall friendly transfer method that enhances the performance of TCP/IP by opening up multiple streams of TCP data.

FileCatalyst affords industry-leading acceleration and optimization. Acceleration is achieved by acknowledging very large portions of data and retransmitting only data packets that were lost. In addition to the acceleration — which maximizes throughput on any network — FileCatalyst minimizes the data being sent by compressing it, and transferring only the portions of data that have been modified since the last transfer.

FileCatalyst uses a client-server architecture and consists of a server application, a suite of client side applications, as well as an SDK.

FileCatalyst Comparison-Chart

FileCatalyst’s software-based approach provides for rapid deployment with minimal resources. FileCatalyst can be easily installed in less than 30 minutes for fast, interactive collaboration on large data sets. With no special hardware required, FileCatalyst can be remotely configured and managed, and allows companies to take full advantage of their bandwidth immediately.
