Unlimi-Tech has launched FileCatalyst Web, software that combines file transfer and email notification with acceleration. It’s designed to allow users to 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, according to John Tkaczewski, president of Unlimi-Tech. To compensate, network administrators place limitations on the size of email attachments to manage the burden on their network and mail servers, he says. FileCatalyst Web offers a three-for-one tool—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.
The software can purportedly 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, says Tkaczewski. Because FileCatalyst Web is software-based, multi-location set-up takes less than an hour from a remote site.
