Unlimi-Tech to Offer Apposite’s WAN Emulator
to FileCatalyst Distributors
Ottawa Canada and Los Angeles,
CA (June 13, 2006) - Apposite™ Technologies and Unlimi-Tech
Software Inc. today announced a strategic partnership to make
Apposite’s Linktropy 4500 WAN emulator available to
distributors of Unlimi-Tech’s FileCatalyst® file
transfer product family. Under the terms of the agreement,
Unlimi-Tech will become an authorized worldwide reseller of
the Linktropy 4500.
Unlimi-Tech’s FileCatalyst
software accelerates file transfers across global networks,
overcoming the performance limitations of FTP and other TCP-based
transfer mechanisms over long latency or loss prone WAN links.
FileCatalyst enables data transfers at line speed, improving
bandwidth utilization and file transfer reliability. FileCatalyst
uses Digital Fountain’s patented DFRaptor™ forward
error correction technology for reliable communications, making
it an ideal solution for satellite or wireless communications.
Apposite Technologies’ Linktropy
4500 is a high-precision, easy-to-use, wide area network (WAN)
emulator that simulates WAN bandwidth, delay, loss, and other
link conditions. The Linktropy 4500 can emulate terrestrial,
wireless, satellite or any other type of wide-area network.
Unlimi-Tech uses the Linktropy
4500 to simulate WAN links for development and testing of
FileCatalyst at its research lab in Ottawa, Canada, and to
demonstrate the performance of FileCatalyst at trade shows
and customers sites. By providing the Linktropy 4500 to its
distribution partners, Unlimi-Tech ensures that distributors
of FileCatalyst can quickly emulate the full range of customer
network conditions and configure FileCatalyst for optimal
file transfers rates.
“FileCatalyst is designed
to improve the performance of file transfers over public WAN
or VPN links with varying delay and loss characteristics,
making it critical to be able to benchmark and demonstrate
the software under those conditions,” said Chris Bailey,
CEO of Unlimi-Tech Software. “We’ve been impressed
with how easy the Linktropy 4500 makes testing a wide variety
of link conditions and decided to make it available directly
to our partners.”
“The partnership with Unlimi-Tech
represents a significant new opportunity for us,” said
DC Palter, Apposite President. “With perfectly complementary
products, the relationship will help both parties demonstrate
the value of each company’s respective solutions and
reach new markets."
