Clearswift Filecatalyst

This combination is a game-changer for industries dealing with massive, sensitive files: Media & Entertainment : Sending high-res video dailies without risking leaks. Healthcare

The result? Transfer failures, corrupted archives, and lost productivity.

To appreciate the value of this combined solution, it is essential to look at the core capabilities that each platform brings to the table. FileCatalyst: Accelerated File Transfer

At its heart, FileCatalyst is not a modified version of existing protocols but a ground-up reimagining of file transfer. Unlike TCP-based protocols (FTP, SFTP, HTTP) that throttle speed due to latency and packet loss, FileCatalyst uses with a proprietary congestion-avoidance algorithm. This allows it to saturate available bandwidth—even over high-latency satellite links or lossy mobile networks—achieving speeds up to 10 Gbps or more. Features like hot folder automation, directory monitoring, and multi-threaded transfers ensure that a 100 GB video file or a terabyte geospatial dataset arrives in minutes rather than hours. For industries where time is literal money, this acceleration is transformative. clearswift filecatalyst

Data mobility and data security are no longer opposing IT initiatives. By combining FileCatalyst’s UDP-powered acceleration with Clearswift’s precise, adaptive content security, organizations can build a high-performance digital supply chain. This unified approach eliminates technical bottlenecks, safeguards intellectual property, and keeps automated workflows running smoothly at scale.

Genomic sequencing data and medical imaging (DICOM) are both massive and highly sensitive. A hospital network transferring patient MRI data to a research lab must comply with HIPAA or GDPR. Clearswift FileCatalyst accelerates the transfer while the DLP engine automatically redacts patient names and IDs, ensuring compliance without manual intervention.

Clearswift protects against data breaches and cyber threats, reducing the risk of fines and reputational damage. This combination is a game-changer for industries dealing

FileCatalyst is an industry-leading Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution designed specifically to accelerate and optimize file transfers. Patented UDP Protocol

With the rise of clouds like Progress MOVEit or AWS Transfer Family, some argue that on-prem gateways are obsolete.

When integrated, Clearswift FileCatalyst allows organizations to move terabytes of data across the globe at wire speed while simultaneously performing deep content disarm and reconstruction (CDR) and data loss prevention (DLP) checks.

Large organizations often struggle with traditional file transfer methods (like FTP or HTTP) when moving terabytes of data across global distances. Traditional protocols are sensitive to "latency" (delay) and "packet loss," which can make transfers crawl or fail entirely.

Military and intelligence agencies operate over high-latency satellite links (SATCOM) with inherent packet loss. Moving multi-gigabyte ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance) video footage is impossible with standard tools. Clearswift FileCatalyst allows these agencies to transfer classified data at 80-95% of available bandwidth, while ICAP scanning ensures no malware bridges the security gap between networks.
