Overview of FileCatalyst Direct

• FTP/TCP Performance vs UDP/FileCatalyst Performance

FileCatalyst


• FTP/TCP Challenges Explained


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

FileCatalyst ISV partner Ecosystem

• Why?– Big Data Explosion

• 90% of data today is file-based

• Media assets getting larger in size

– Bandwidth diversity• variable bandwidth rates (slow to super fast)

• Bandwidth rates (pipe) increasing while costs are decreasing

• Diverse networks (terrestrial, satellite, wireless)

• Network conditions (degradation over distance, packet loss, noise, latency)

– Collaborative / Global workforce• teams geographically disperse

• networks degrade over distance

– Media / Broadcast customers buy solutions• mam, transcoding, QA, archiving, storage, edit, playout

– ISV partners able to provide file ingestion/distribution options• FTP, HTTP, SFTP, CIFS, Samba, etc.

FileCatalyst


• eMAM integrates with FileCatalyst Development Tools (Java Applets, Remote Server Management API, and Java Script API) for a seamless integration

• eMAM has a Windows and Mac desktop eMAM Feeder application for ingest from any workstation worldwide into the eMAM Online library with a FileCatalyst option.

• eMAM has Delivery and Download options from eMAM web interface for worldwide delivery of native/high definition to any location with a FileCatalyst option.




FileCatalyst Direct Server

eMAM Typical Workflow

• Both ingest and delivery of large files, especially high definition content were time prohibitive, so customers needed to send hard drives for these file transfers.

• Use of FileCatalyst now made it feasible to directly use the eMAM toolset for the entire workflow.



Value Proposition

• TIME IS MONEY! TIME IS MONEY!

• Single interface. Less confusion

• Accelerate file transfers from the web (no client side install)

• Cross platform

• Reliable media file delivery from EMAM
