Magna’s second new principal is file transfer solutions specialist FileCatalyst. Founded in 2000 FileCatalyst has more than one thousand clients and a user base of over one million. The company provides software-based solutions designed to accelerate and optimise file transfers across global networks. Being immune to packet loss and latency, FileCatalyst can send files much faster than methods such as FTP, HTTP or CIFS, while adding security and reliability.
So commented, “FileCatalyst is a very clever solution and much faster than many others. Their FileCatalyst Direct point-to-point file transfer solution offers unique features by installing the FileCatalyst Server and FileCatalyst client-side options. As FileCatalyst is at both endpoints this provides a superior file transfer experience. They are a very welcome addition to the family of solutions that Magna Systems offers in Asia Pac, particularly in the ever-increasing world of data usage and transfer.”

This is what they do and do very well indeed. As Magna Systems is asked more and more for cloud-based solutions in this space it’s Media Excel who delivers them. We are very happy to have them on board.”
