FileCatalyst provides enterprise file transfer solutions that accelerate transfers using software-defined networking and on-demand bandwidth allocation. Their solution includes FileTeleport which allows users to transfer files between locations with guaranteed arrival times. FileCatalyst transfers use a UDP-based protocol and proprietary algorithms to maximize throughput without being affected by latency. The underlying technology includes an SDN controller, bandwidth scheduling software, and file transfer agents that integrate seamlessly into various applications and platforms. FileCatalyst provides centralized management and monitoring of global file transfers on their software-defined media network.

- 9. Broadcasters are quickly moving to file based content acquisition, also for time sensitive media production. - Internally they rely on proprietary software - For content exchange with others they often use inefficient IT/office protocols (FTP) - Time sensitive exchange can only be solved by dedicated leased lines – limiting reach and flexibility.

- 10. What? - Programmable - Centralized control - Steered by business applications Why? - Foundation for delivering bandwidth by-the-minute - Speed up new service time-to-market So what? Media producers are - In control - Get connectivity where and when needed - Pay only for what is used. Automated and agile media production workflows are supported with real-time on-demand network connectivity. Software Defined Networking
- 12. Transfer files with on-demand bandwidth using FileTeleport • Choose files, destination and arrival time • Automatically accelerate your transfers using on- demand bandwidth with real-time pricing • Exchange content with guaranteed time-of-arrival
- 13. FileTeleport –Why? With FileTeleport broadcasters and content owners can truly accelerate file transfers and they get a guaranteed time-of-arrival. Using an interoperable platform everyone can exchange content, and with no management of servers and software and no manual exchange of server information and user credentials the cost of operations is low.

- 27. Solving Latency Issues Solving Latency Issues Every network suffers from latency Latency is an expression of how much time it takes for a packet of data to get from one designated point to another. Network latency is measured by sending a packet and receiving an acknowledgement. This round-trip time (RTT) is the “latency”. Visualize the flow of packets like water running through a hose. With FTP, there is a kink in the hose restricting the water’s flow. With FileCatalyst, the kink is removed and water can rush through unrestricted. FTP is a very serial process. Each packet of data must be received before a new packet is sent = Decreased transfer speed FileCatalyst completely saturates the pipe by sending multiple blocks of data = Increased transfer speed Source File Destination File Acknowledgments Data Packet Source File Destination File Acknowledgments
