File Transfer Management

Transfer Files Faster and More Reliably With FileCatalyst

As the files that we use in our hosted environments get larger, it is important to be able to transfer large files quickly and reliably. With ISO's, backups, databases, and other files getting to sizes of tens or hundreds of gigabytes, the features of FileCatalyst can play an integral part in making those file transfers manageable.

  • When a transfer fails, the next attempt at that transfer will pick up where the last left off
  • Proprietary UDP transfer protocol allows for much faster transfers than with FTP
  • Scripted and scheduled tasks make it easy to set up unattended jobs
  • A hosted file server provides the advantage of off-site data and managed backups while the speed benefits of FileCatalyst minimize the hassle of getting your data from a geographically distant site
  • Retry and resume facilities far more reliable than FTP/HTTP
  • Automated workflow and transfer scheduling
  • Easy administration and maintenance
  • Security features meet compliancy mandates (HIPAA, SOX, GLBA and others)
  • Cross-Platform: Windows 2003, Windows 2008, CentOS 5, Redhat 5
  • No additional hardware requirements-a software-only solution
  • Maximize available link speed up to one gigabit per second (1000 Mbps)
  • Immunity from network latency and resistance to packet loss
