FileCatalyst Webmail offers a streamlined interface to transfer files online without burdening our corporate email servers. It's a powerful solution that fits our needs perfectly.

The Benefits of Email

Email is the most common and accessible way to send a file from one person to another. After all, email attachments are very convenient. Set your recipient's address, attach a file, write a message, and click “send”. It's no wonder that most people exchanging documents rely on email attachments.

...With no Restrictions

The two biggest restrictions on email are file size and transfer speed. FileCatalyst Webmail solves both these problems, while maintaining the accessibility of email. Users follow the same basic steps as creating an email: specify a recipient, select files, and click “submit”.

However, since the file is stored on the FileCatalyst Server, there is no size restriction. And since transfers may be accelerated with the FileCatalyst UDP-based protocol, they happen much more quickly.

More Than an Attachment Replacement

Webmail includes a number of features and functions to give organizations control over their file transfers. Some of these are:

• Online storage

  for registered users. Users may have individual storage areas, or shared areas with any number of groups

• Web-based

  file transfer system means that no additional software is installed by the end-user. The system is accessible from any location with an internet connection, and through virtually any combination of browser and operating system.

• OpenLDAP / Active Directory

  authentication means seamless provisioning and authentication for organizations already using such a directory. Or, use built-in tools for creating new users and groups.

• Tracking and Security:

  industry-level encryption, password protection, account management, and complete auditing help to address the various mandates used in the industry, including GLB, SOX and HIPAA.

• Reliable Delivery

  is accomplished in three significant ways:
  1. Because the email itself does not contain the delivered files, they will not be bounced by the mail server's file size restrictions
  2. With automatic failover from UDP to FTP to HTTP, FileCatalyst Webmail stubbornly delivering files through the strictest firewalls.
  3. With FileCatalyst acceleration enabled, files are sent through the harshest network conditions at speeds 100X faster (or more) than FTP.

• Easy File Management

  with automated archiving and file deletion.

• Completely Brandable

  interface is built using HTML and CSS. Use standard web development techniques to change your deployment to match corporate standards.
