FileCatalyst PerformancePresentation

Understanding the Speed problem?

Every network suffers from latency

Latency, a synonym for delay, is an expression of how much time it takes for a packet of data to get from one designated point to another.

Network latency is measured by sending a packet and receiving an acknowledgement. This round-trip time (RTT) is the “latency”.

Visualize the flow of packets like water running through a hose. With FTP, there is a kink in the hose restricting the water’s flow. With FileCatalyst, the kink is removed and water can rush through unrestricted.

Data Packet

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
