HIPAA Compliant FileCatalyst with Enterprise Features Released

(Oct 23, 2007)-- Unlimi-Tech Software, 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 Christen 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.
