Telemedia chooses FileCatalyst for internal operations
- Details
Telemedia (PTY) is a leading provider of dynamic media broadcasting services, and they have a strong proven track record for supplying tailor made quality solutions. Telemedia is located in South Africa with their head office being in Rivonia, Johannesburg. They have also expanded beyond the African marketplace to serve clients in markets worldwide.
The FileCatalyst product they have chosen to use internally is FileCatalyst Direct, which is a suite of server and client applications that accelerates point-to-point file transfers at speeds of up to 10Gbps. FileCatalyst utilizes a patented UDP-based file transfer technology that overcomes the issues of slow file transfers caused by network impairments such as latency and packet loss. They have also implemented the client applications HotFolder and TransferAgent to their internal infrastructure. TransferAgent allows users to send large files via a web browser to any email address and HotFolder is used for scheduling and automating file transfers.
“FileCatalyst is incorporated with company proprietary information on our corporate infrastructure and operates as expected and we’re very happy with its performance,” says Charles Bates, Network Administrator at Telemedia (PTY). “We are very impressed with how FileCatalyst Direct, and the clients HotFolder and TransferAgent, greatly improve our file transfer times, while at the same time simplifying our workflows.”
“We are happy to announce that Telemedia is onboard with FileCatalyst Direct, and we are happy to have another client added to our portfolio of African companies,” says Alan Atkinson, vice president of business development & marketing for FileCatalyst.
Inala Broadcast will be attending the Mediatech Africa trade show from 19-21 July in Johannesburg, and they will be representing FileCatalyst in booth C23.
