Fast File Transfer

Enterprise file transfer acceleration 

Moving files is a critical process for your organization. FTP can be slow and unreliable, a combination that causes lost productivity and frustration. International file transfers are especially problematic, frequently disconnecting and rarely reaching full line speed. Predictability and “guaranteed file delivery” are virtually impossible with FTP.

What is Fast File Transfer?

Understanding your company’s individualistic wants, needs and workflow are important when selecting a solution. 

Any organization that exchanges large volumes of data and requires quick, efficient file delivery, yet is unable to achieve acceptable speeds with traditional file transfer methods has a need for accelerated file transfer. Regardless of the industry, file formats, and parties involved, accelerated file transfer can be beneficial to any organization unable to effectively handle its file transfer via methods like FTP or email attachments.

Exchange your files from anywhere in the world with fast file transfer!

FileCatalyst by FORTRA

FileCatalyst is a robust accelerated file transfer solution that will also provide the security organizations need throughout their fast file transfer operations.

Fast file transfer solutions are designed specifically to allow the transfer of large files over remote networks experiencing high latency or packet loss.

Millions of files

Fast file transfer employs “N-File” technology, allowing it to easily migrate massive file sets consisting of millions of files and terabytes of data between storage endpoints, including cloud storage. FileCatalyst can transfer files, including MXF files, as they are being encoded or generated. This means files may arrive at their destination shortly after they are complete.

High availability

FileCatalyst Load Balancer enables high availability (active-passive) and load balancing (active-active) between multiple FIleCatalyst Servers.

Cloud storage

FileCatalyst integrates natively with the most popular cloud storage providers & many options for integration into third-party applications and workflows. Files are streamed through FileCatalyst without landing on local storage, and are transferred at the maximum speed the cloud storage provides.

Secure and reliable

Your files are secured in transit, and at rest, with the latest encryption standards. Intrusion detection and IP Filters provide additional layers of security. The solution uses AES encryption, as well as advanced reliability features such as automatic retry, checkpoint restart, and file integrity checks.

So easy!

FileCatalyst Link is an easy to use feature that allows users to send files of any size to any email address, using only a web browser, at the maximum possible speed. The recipient simply clicks the link and downloads the files.

API

FileCatalyst Central provides a full REST API which developers can use to further expand the existing functionality. Any action that is performed by the built in administration tools can be performed through the REST API. FileCatalyst provides many options for integration into third party applications and workflows.

Sinergies between Managed file transfer & fast file transfer

Managed file transfer solution powered by fast file transfer technology that can provide organizations great value.  For all your MFT needs, file transfer accelerator solution provides the Fast File Transfer benefits that helps organizations streamline file transfers from anywhere in the world.

Do You Need Faster File Transfer?

While we could all use faster file transfer, there are practical limitations to acceleration technology. At low speeds, for example anything up to 5 Mbps (Cable/DSL) with normal latency (80ms and below for transfers within one country), FTP provides nearly maximum speed. On the other hand, there are also scenarios that improve dramatically when file transfer acceleration is introduced, expediting transfers that once took days into just minutes.

File transfer acceleration delivers the greatest results in situations where there has been a higher than average investment in line speed, files are exchanged over large geographic distances, or when connections which are prone to packet loss are used.

Fast file transfer deployment

The FileCatalyst suite of applications has a wide array of options for deployment. FileCatalyst Server is a required component of the FileCatalyst deployment, and you can choose the client applications that fit your file transfer needs. The FileCatalyst Direct suite of applications are designed to meet needs that are dependent on your specific file transfer workflow. FileCatalyst Direct is a suite of server and client applications
that enable point-to-point accelerated file transfers at speeds of up to 10Gbps. Utilizing a patented UDP-based file transfer technology, FileCatalyst overcomes the issue of slow file transfers caused by network impairments such as latency and packet loss.
