© Copyright FileCatalyst, 2015 What is FileCatalyst? FileCatalyst transfers files at full link speed: UDP with proprietary retransmission and congestion control Patented algorithm built from the ground up in-house Transfer rates up to 10 Gbps (with encryption) using commodity hardware Not affected by latency and speed degrades, linearly with packet loss Ability to fully leverage multi-core CPU architecture Integration with leading Cloud Storage like Amazon S3

© Copyright FileCatalyst, 2015 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 Source File Destination File Acknowledgments Data Packet

© Copyright FileCatalyst, 2015 Workflow Components Group Extends default user properties Order form assignment (multiple order forms per user) Shared Folders – file area – shared media storage Shared transactions (Jobs) Permissions Job Entity that combines files (media) and order form information (meta data) Transactional information (job history log) Status Automatic status triggers. Incomplete -> Sent, Sent -> Shipped, Incomplete -> Error Coming Soon: User defined triggers based on the outcome of the script execution or status template
