FileCatalyst

Enterprise file transfer acceleration 

Moving files is a critical process for your organization. FTP can be slow and unreliable, a combination that causes lost productivity and frustration. International file transfers are especially problematic, frequently disconnecting and rarely reaching full line speed. Predictability and “guaranteed file delivery” are virtually impossible with FTP.

What is Fast File Transfer?

Understanding your company’s individualistic wants, needs and workflow are important when selecting a solution. 

Any organization that exchanges large volumes of data and requires quick, efficient file delivery, yet is unable to achieve acceptable speeds with traditional file transfer methods has a need for accelerated file transfer. Regardless of the industry, file formats, and parties involved, accelerated file transfer can be beneficial to any organization unable to effectively handle its file transfer via methods like FTP or email attachments.

Exchange your files from anywhere in the world with fast file transfer!

FileCatalyst by FORTRA

FileCatalyst is a robust accelerated file transfer solution that will also provide the security organizations need throughout their fast file transfer operations.

Fast file transfer solutions are designed specifically to allow the transfer of large files over remote networks experiencing high latency or packet loss.

FileCatalyst Central is a web-based monitoring tool that acts as a united gateway to view and administer your entire FileCatalyst Direct and FileCatalyst Workflow deployment. FileCatalyst Central allows you to view ongoing transfers in real-time, drill into transaction histories and reports, view system health including alarms, remotely configure nodes, and initiate file transfers.

FileCatalyst Workflow is a web portal that simplifies and accelerates large file exchanges and boosts productivity by streamlining submission, distribution, and file sharing. 

Use FileCatalyst Workflow to transfer files – even those huge ones – from anywhere, to anywhere easily and quickly via a browser. Full tracking at every stage ensures you’ll always know the status of your file transfers.  

Installing the web browser plug-in takes mere minutes and once you do, you can start transferring huge files, even terabytes of data. 

FileCatalyst Direct is a suite of server and client applications that enable point-to-point accelerated file transfers to anywhere, from anywhere at speeds of up to 10Gbps. By utilizing a patented UDP-based file transfer technology, FileCatalyst overcomes the issue of slow file transfers caused by network impairments such as latency and packet loss. FileCatalyst Direct will change your file transfer times from hours to minutes and minutes to seconds.

Millions of files

Fast file transfer employs “N-File” technology, allowing it to easily migrate massive file sets consisting of millions of files and terabytes of data between storage endpoints, including cloud storage. FileCatalyst can transfer files, including MXF files, as they are being encoded or generated. This means files may arrive at their destination shortly after they are complete.

Do You Need Faster File Transfer?

While we could all use faster file transfer, there are practical limitations to acceleration technology. At low speeds, for example anything up to 5 Mbps (Cable/DSL) with normal latency (80ms and below for transfers within one country), FTP provides nearly maximum speed. On the other hand, there are also scenarios that improve dramatically when file transfer acceleration is introduced, expediting transfers that once took days into just minutes.

File transfer acceleration delivers the greatest results in situations where there has been a higher than average investment in line speed, files are exchanged over large geographic distances, or when connections which are prone to packet loss are used.

Fast file transfer deployment

The FileCatalyst suite of applications has a wide array of options for deployment. FileCatalyst Server is a required component of the FileCatalyst deployment, and you can choose the client applications that fit your file transfer needs. The FileCatalyst Direct suite of applications are designed to meet needs that are dependent on your specific file transfer workflow. FileCatalyst Direct is a suite of server and client applications
that enable point-to-point accelerated file transfers at speeds of up to 10Gbps. Utilizing a patented UDP-based file transfer technology, FileCatalyst overcomes the issue of slow file transfers caused by network impairments such as latency and packet loss.
