6. Overview of FileCatalyst Direct
• FTP/TCP Challenges Explained
Data Packet
6 | © Copyright FileCatalyst, 2013
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

9. 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.

14. FileCatalyst integration with eMAM
• 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.

16. 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.
