FileCatalyst to Showcase its File Acceleration Technology at Game Developers Conference

FileCatalyst, demonstrates managed file transfer platform for gaming industry.

Ottawa, Canada (PRWEB) February 18, 2008 -- FileCatalyst, a world leader in file transfer solutions, today announced that it will be demonstrating its industry leading Managed File Transfer platform with built-in file acceleration at the upcoming Game Developers Conference (GDC).

The conference, the largest annual gathering of professional video game developers, is being held on February 18-22, 2008 in the city of San Francisco. The event comprises an expo, networking events, and a variety of tutorials, lectures, and roundtables by industry professionals on game-related topics covering game development, design, visual arts, media production and business management issues.

Video game development companies are increasingly collaborating workfiles over large distances with development centers, studio-hubs and off-site production teams. This leads to large amounts of data being transferred over a global network. Inefficiencies in the network and the overall setup can cause unnecessary delays in development time. FileCatalyst® technology with its built-in acceleration can streamline the flow of files and allow for a better, managed approach to the movement of large files.

"FileCatalyst® technology is best suited to transfer large files over a global network in a fast, efficient manner. It's exactly for this reason that we have over 750 clients using our file transfer technology. One such customer is also the world's leading game development company," said John Tkaczewski, President and Cofounder of Unlimi-Tech Software, the creators of FileCatalyst®. "Since FileCatalyst's deployment, the game development team has been able to achieve file transfers faster than ever before."

The FileCatalyst® technology overcomes the delay associated with latency and packet loss, providing maximum use of available bandwidth. Improved file transfer speed combined with incremental transfers and on-the-fly compression provides real-world increases of 100 fold over traditional file transfer methods.
