FileCatalyst Workflow Selected BySega, Speeds up Game Development

Unlimi-Tech Software’s FileCatalyst Workflow has been selected by Sega to solve their solution to minimize file transfer times.

"We are pleased to be an integral part of the applications deployed by the SEGA development group" said Chris Bailey, CEO of Unlimi-Tech Software, "The gaming industry is experiencing huge issues relating to delivery of the massive amounts of content in today’s games. FileCatalyst allows game development companies to minimize file transfer times, and thus improve productivity across the game development workflow."

The FileCatalyst Workflow software application is a unique file-based workflow solution that offers comprehensive tracking and management of files as they are processed through a digital workflow.

The uniqueness of the application is exemplified by its ability to accelerate file transfers as they move from one project node to the other. Advanced acceleration algorithms allow for improved bandwidth utilization and data reduction - leading to file transfer rates of 100x faster than traditional FTP.

Sega employs a global network that spans around the world with headquarters in the US, Japan, and Europe. File transfers between these locations were slow until now, due to high network latency, and tracking/workflow was non-existent.

FileCatalyst acceleration technology is completely software-based, and is designed to overcome network performance bottlenecks to maximize use of available bandwidth. This technology is packaged into FileCatalyst Workflow, providing file-based workflow. The process is completely customizable and offers automated and scheduling features, email notifications and LDAP/Active Directory integration.
