FileCatalyst Web: Accelerating large file transfers

Unlimi-Tech Unveils FileCatalyst Web: Effortless Large File Transfers Plus
Acceleration for Anyone in the Enterprise

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 OS X)
