LAS VEGAS, NV and OTTAWA, ON,
16 April, 2007 – FileCatalyst 2.0 from Unlimi-Tech Software
Inc. offers broadcasters, carriers, telecoms, post production
houses, digital delivery and system integration companies
a software-based solution offering maximum throughput for
large point-to-point or multi-cast file transfer applications.
FileCatalyst 2.0 software can be easily installed in less
than 30 minutes for fast, interactive collaboration on large
datasets.
Featuring patent-pending acceleration
technology with less than 1% overhead, on-the-fly compression
and byte-level incremental transfers, FileCatalyst 2.0 uses
software automation to overcome the file transfer inefficiencies
associated with packet loss and latency. Not only can FileCatalyst
guarantee line speed, it can actually provide effective throughput
2–3 times greater than line speed. This translates to
speeds 50 or more times faster than traditional transfer methods.
“We can guarantee a FileCatalyst
customer’s connection throughput improvement before
we even deliver the software,” said Chris Bailey, Unlimi-Tech’s
CEO, “and it’s usually a dramatic increase. Our
customers report that the average Return on Investment (ROI)
is in the order of 10 to 1 when FileCatalyst is utilized in
high-latency networks."
Founded in 2002, Rain Network is
a Brazilian company that has created a solution for the independent
cinema market by interconnecting theatres in a digital network.
With offices in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, New York and London,
Rain Network uses FileCatalyst 2.0 to transmit films in digital
format, by satellite, cable and DSL to more than 120 locations
around the world.
“We tested a number of products and decided on FileCatalyst
from a company and technology perspective,” said Fernando
Fortes, Technical Manager of Rain Network
FileCatalyst 2.0 application features
include:
- Transfer data at line speed,
immune to affects of RTT and packet loss
- No additional hardware requirements or line upgrades
- Push and Pull files or entire directories
- Incremental transfers of file deltas
- On-the-fly compression
- Industry standard SSL for control channel, and AES for data
encryption
- Automatically detect line speed with adaptive rate control
- User-based authentication with permissions control

For system integrators, FileCatalyst
2.0 offers four client applications that provide ultimate
customization options.
- HotFolders make large file transfers
as easy as dragging and dropping or saving a file into a folder
that is incorporated directly into existing workflow processes
- Applets provide application hooks that tightly integrate
into J2EE, .NET, PHP or other Web application frameworks so
that users can browse for a file and click an upload/download
button in the browser to transfer large files across global
networks
- A Command Line Interface (CLI) allows integrators to replace
or complement other script-driven file transfer mechanisms
- A Software development Kit (SDK) gives programmers the power
to build FileCatalyst 2.0 transfers into any system.
