Effortless Large File Transfers Plus Acceleration
for Anyone in the EnterpriseileCatalyst released with Enterprise
features
INTEROP 2007 - LAS VEGAS, NV and
OTTAWA, ON, 22 May, 2007 – Enterprises seeking a way
out of the mire of FTP servers and email attachment bounce-backs
can now look to a new software-based product called FileCatalyst
Web being launched at Interop 2007. Combining file transfer
ease and email notification with acceleration, FileCatalyst
Web from Unlimi-Tech Software Inc. removes complexity for
ordinary end users looking to quickly transfer gigabyte-level
files across enterprise networks.
Email and FTP are not designed
to transfer large files over global networks, and FTP is dramatically
affected by packet loss and latency, adding to network inefficiencies.
To compensate, network administrators place limitations on
the size of email attachments to manage the burden on their
network and mail servers.
“As a result,” said
John Tkaczewski, President of Unlimi-Tech, “today’s
email and FTP systems place an inordinate burden on end users
as well as IT support staff trying to enable large file transfers.
FileCatalyst Web offers a three-for-one value proposition
– a Web-based software that combines file transfer,
email and file acceleration into a single application purpose-built
for large file exchanges over global networks.”
FileCatalyst Web offers superior
reliability for large file transfers even in harsh network
conditions. The software can accelerate data transfer speeds
50 or more times faster than systems based on traditional
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). IT benefits from lower
bandwidth as well as support costs. Because FileCatalyst Web
is software-based, multi-location set-up takes less than an
hour from a remote site.
At Cybertoybox.com, a file transfer
service bureau and solution provider in Johannesburg, South
Africa, Founder and CEO Quintin Els is convinced of FileCatalyst
Web’s benefits. “Cybertoybox is making this solution
available to smaller organizations in Africa and the Middle
East that can’t afford to implement such technology
on their own. These companies can waste an entire day dealing
with North America on a dropped file transmission. With added
features such as sms confirmation on downloads, we bring our
clients a connectivity service with FileCatalyst Web that
is second to none.”
FileCatalyst Web application features
include:
- Send files of any size to anywhere
using a web browser
- Scheduled and automatic transfers
via desktop client
- Transfer data at maximum bandwidth
- Immune to latency and packet
loss
- Industry standard SSL for control
channel, and AES for data encryption
- Automatically detect line speed
with adaptive rate control
- Cross-platform support (Windows,
Linux, Solaris, Mac OSX)
