The new FileCatalyst Direct has a number of nice features designed to support enterprise-level IT administration and management. Christian Charette, Software Development Manager explains these features in the embedded video.

The first new feature is the support of Monitoring Agents through the Hotfolder application. Now status messages can be sent from the Hotfolder to the Monitoring Agent to notify of various events including incomplete, failed or successful transfers. Such notifications can help the IT administrator resolve and troubleshoot network issues before they propagate to become a major issue. The other major improvements have to do with bandwidth calculations at the start of a transfer. This is done via a bandwidth speed test button that is a new addition to the FileCatalyst Direct Interface. Other improvements include minor bug fixes in the application.
