Collaboration and information sharing are essential and constantly occurring practices in organizations, often taking the form of file transfer. Quick communication is key and slow or failed file transfers can stand in the way of productivity. In today's IT landscape FTP can be slow and unreliable, a combination causing lost productivity and frustration. International file transfers are especially challenging, frequently disconnecting and almost never reaching full line speed. Predictability and guaranteed delivery are virtually impossible with FTP. FileCatalyst Direct is a software-only file transfer solution that provides accelerated, secure, reliable delivery and file transfer tracking and management. The FileCatalyst protocol creates a connection that is immune to poor network conditions ( latency and packet loss), resulting in file transfers that are up to 100X faster (or more) than FTP, HTTP or CIFS. FileCatalyst Direct is a flexible and scalable solution used across many industries including media and entertainment, gaming, energy, healthcare, enterprise organizations, as well as government and military departments. Global organizations use FileCatalyst to solve issues related to file transfer, including content distribution, file sharing and offsite backups.

    Highlights

    • UDP-based acceleration-transfer speeds up to 100x faster than FTP!
    • Encrypted with industry-standards: SSL for control channel and AES for data
    • Guaranteed Delivery options to prioritize sessions and transfers on the fly

    What do you like best about the product?
    Nothing much expect hot folder............
    What do you dislike about the product?
    We got a perpetual licence to integrate with our app to accelerate file uploads but after the purchase found that the SDK doesn't work at all via UDP, it uses FTP hence 30% files received as corrupted. The support system doesn't work well here they will look for money to buy support for years. Better go with IBM aspera or Massive.io
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    We tried to accelerate file uploads but we failed with multiple bugs on the product
