New version of FileCatalyst supports LDAP and Active
directory for enterprise deployment
Ottawa, Canada, October 24, 2007
--- Unlimi-Tech Software, a world leader in file transfer
solutions, today announced a significant enhancement to FileCatalyst
at Interop New York. FileCatalyst is an enterprise managed
file transfer system for file acceleration and automation,
which now supports LDAP and Active Directory. The new feature
set allows FileCatalyst to easily interface with existing
LDAP and Active Directory systems to allocate and provision
users on the FileCatalyst server. The new features further
complement FileCatalyst support for the enterprise through
accelerated file transfers, scheduling, compression and industry-grade
security.
FileCatalyst provides a complete
managed file transfer solution for the enterprise using patent
pending technology to overcome network delays and congestion.
Industry leading file transfer acceleration combined with
incremental transfers and on-the-fly compression, provide
real-world increases of 50 fold over traditional file transfer
methods. Support for LDAP and Active Directory allows end-users
to be easily provisioned on Unix and Windows environments
to take advantage of the file transfer features of FileCatalyst.
“LDAP and Active Directory
are the de facto standard for storing user credentials in
the enterprise. Relatively few file transfer applications
directly interface with these directory systems. This means
that enterprise users need to create and manage separate login
credentials on the file transfer application,” explains
Christian Charette, Software Development Manager at Unlimi-Tech
Software. “With our new support for LDAP and Active
Directory, users can use their existing credentials to login
to FileCatalyst to transfer files. When the user credentials
change on the LDAP or Active Directory, those changes automatically
apply to FileCatalyst users. This provides a more seamless,
secure and easy to manage system – both for the end-user
as well as for IT administrators.”
Designed with client-server architecture,
FileCatalyst is packaged with a server, desktop clients, java
applets and API. A web rendition of FileCatalyst known as
FileCatalyst Web complements e-mail for ad-hoc large file
transfers, allowing for a more efficient method to store and
forward files over traditional e-mail servers. FileCatalyst
Web reduces IT archival needs and meets the compliancy standards
of various mandates including HIPAA, SOX, and GLBA.
“Our continued focus in the
enterprise market has given rise to the new feature set. With
our growing list of fortune 500 companies, we continue to
deliver solutions that can be easily deployed and maintained
by the IT department,” said John Tkaczewski, President
of Unlimi-Tech Software. “The growing advantages of
our accelerated file transfers coupled with benefits such
as compression, scheduling and security, are pushing FileCatalyst
to be the leading solution in the market.”
