Ottawa, Canada (PRWEB) June 09, 2014

Unlimi-Tech Software, Inc., a pioneer in managed file transfers and the creator of FileCatalyst, a world leading accelerated file transfer solution is pleased to announce an integration partner agreement with Cache-A Corporation, a leading supplier of network-attached small form-factor archive appliances for the media and entertainment industry.

Cache-A, founded in 2008 and headquarted in Colorado, supplies network-attached small form-factor LTO-5 and 6 archive appliances. Cache-A products are easy to deploy in professional video and digital film workflows, allowing protection for project archives. With a built-in catalog database Cache-A archive appliances simply track content on secure, portable LTO tape cartridges using the new LTFS file system or the industry standard tar format. Cache-A’s Prime-Cache, Pro-Cache, and high performance Power-Cache models are ideal for archiving and are able to manage a deep archive of hundreds of Terabytes with quick access to any asset. These powerful archive appliances are simply the lowest cost, most future-proof, complete archiving tools available.

As media files exponentially increase in size throughout the media and entertainment sphere, the delivery of these files between locations becomes more and more important. For users sending and receiving large media files using methods such as email or FTP, file transfers quickly become very slow or unreliable, especially over large geographical distances.

To speed the delivery of these files within its solutions, Cache-A has partnered with FileCatalyst to enable its users to transfer files at accelerated transfer speeds. FileCatalyst’s unique UDP based acceleration technology enhances the file transfer experience, resulting in transfer that take minutes rather than hours or even days, regardless the size or format of the file.

By integrating specifically with the FileCatalyst Direct solution, Cache-A users can experience incredible speed gains over traditional file transfer methods, enabling user transfer speeds of thousands of times faster than FTP.

“Accelerated file transfer rates are becoming increasingly crucial as media files continue to grow in size,” said Phil Ritti, CEO of Cache-A. “The integration of FileCatalyst technology into our storage platform is a valuable feature for many of our clients.”

"We are pleased to partner with Cache-A to integrate our acceleration technology to transfer files at high speeds directly into their storage platform in the media and broadcast industry," says Alan Atkinson, Vice President of Business Development at Unlimi-Tech Software, Inc. “Cache-A offers an industry leading solution for archive appliances making it a perfect partner candidate for FileCatalyst acceleration.”
