FileCatalyst and XenData Partner to Combine Accelerated Media File Transfer with Cloud Based Digital Media Archiving Solution
Ottawa, Canada (PRWEB) March 31, 2014 -- Unlimi-Tech Software, Inc., a pioneer in managed file transfers and the creator of FileCatalyst, the world’s leading accelerated file transfer solution, is pleased to announce a cloud integration partnership agreement with XenData to provide ultra-fast, secure, and reliable delivery and access service for XenData‘s High-Capacity Cloud Storage solution.
XenData, founded in 2001 and with offices in Walnut Creek, California, USA and in Cambridge, UK, is a leading provider of professional digital video archive solutions focused on the needs of the media and entertainment industry. Their digital video archives are installed and used by TV stations, global broadcasters, media service providers, video production and post-production organizations, as well as the media departments of large corporations and government organizations in over 50 countries.
With XenData’s recently announced cloud solution, customers can easily ship duplicate cartridges to XenData’s secure datacenter, located in Nevada, USA, for hosting in the cloud, thus making video assets available for download. Once files are hosted in the XenData Cloud, FileCatalyst provides users access to their media files from anywhere in the world.
The XenData Cloud is able to add further efficiency and time savings to client workflows by integrating the FileCatalyst UDP-based acceleration technology, which is immune to packet loss and latency. Incorporating FileCatalyst’s core transport technology within XenData’s Cloud enables accelerated file transfers, at rates of up to 10 Gbps, while also ensuring reliable and secure delivery of customers’ digital content.
“The integration of FileCatalyst into XenData Cloud is an integral part of our overall solution,” said Phil Storey, XenData co-founder and CEO. “With the integration of the FileCatalyst accelerated file transfer protocol, XenData Cloud offers huge speed gains versus traditional file-transfer methods, allowing user transfer speeds many times faster than FTP.”
"XenData does an excellent job at making sure files are retrieved from tape efficiently. FileCatalyst takes care of the rest," says Alan Atkinson, Vice President of Business Development at Unlimi-Tech Software, Inc.. "This partnership allows for media professionals to not only access their archived assets, but also transfer them at blazing speeds with the FileCatalyst protocol.”
