Corporate Overview

What we do?

• Provide Enterprise Grade Software solutions for moving large data around the world

• Patent pending accelerated file transfers via our unique UDP based approach

• Simplify complicated large file transfers for the enterprise end user.

• Provide all the tools for fast integration into existing enterprise infrastructure

• Provide all the management, security and monitoring tools required to move large data across corporate networks

• Provide integration solutions with all major cloud vendors, including, Amazon, OpenStack and Windows Azure


FTP / TCP Overview

• Provides reliability, error checking, ordered packets in a stream

• Congestion control built in

• Internet could not survive without it

• Works well for most internet traffic, email, web browsing small ad-hoc transfers (HTTP, FTP, SFTP, SMTP etc)


File Transfer Issues with TCP

• Flow control limits transmission window, causes dead air with high latency

• Very aggressive in response to network congestion, cannot tune in application layer

• Result is less than ideal performance on wireless, satellite, or long haul links

• Can be tuned but still not ideal for many-one, one-many


TCP is a very serial process. Each packet of data must be received before a new packet is sent = Decreased transfer speed

Data Packet

Acceleration with FileCatalyst

• Ideal for bulk file transfer

• Predictable - Can send at a perfect rate

• Not affected by latency or packet loss

• Congestion Control implemented in application layer

• Tunable congestion control aggression

• Instantly detect link capacity

FileCatalyst completely saturates the pipe by sending multiple blocks of data = Increased transfer speed

Bandwidth Improvement with FileCatalyst

Accelerating File Transfers


FileCatalyst Protocol Considerations

• Plays fair with other traffic on network

• 10 Gbps file transfer, single stream. Found by independent study to be only solution to maintain 10 Gbpswith high latency and packet loss.

• High performance for many small files

• Features that reduce amount of data transferred (Compression and Incremental (RSYNC) )

• Security, reliability, automatic resume

• Automation tools, SDK, central management

• A point-to-point file transfer solution requiring software at both endpoints

• Client applications include:• HotFolder: Automated and scheduled Transfers with folder synchronization

• Express: Desktop client, manual process• Java Applets: Upload, download, 2-way & headless applets (no client-side install required )

• Development Tools: Command Line, Java & .NET API for seamless integration

• Mobile Applications: iOS and Android


FileCatalyst Integration in Imagen

Why should you use FileCatalyst

technology when using Imagen?


• FileCatalyst can be used in any workflow that requires secure, reliable accelerated file delivery through the world.

– For instance:

• Newsrooms – reporters in geo locations needing to get media up to a website quickly.

• Centralized Archive with offices around the world.

• Live Sporting events

• Long distance learning
