ARCHITECTURE, ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION

Let FileCatalyst Help Turn Your Designs into a Reality… In Record Time!

Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) teams typically collaborate remotely on projects. In some cases, these remote collaborations can cases span the globe. When working on projects of this size and scope, professionals depend on digital file transfer processes to share information, manage project task items and communicate with one another effectively.

3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) files are generally very large, making them just as hard to move. There has also been an increased demand for these project files to include more elements and detail, which has caused their size to skyrocket even further. This constant growth is challenging the ability to quickly share and distribute critical information needed to meet project deadlines.

FileCatalyst’s software solutions accelerate, simplify, and secure file transfers so AEC teams can quickly and easily share large project files and other data sets – regardless of location. Use FileCatalyst to take your project from a CAD dream to a reality.

The FileCatalyst Benefits

FileCatalyst will keep you ahead of project deadlines and never leave you waiting for transfers.

FileCatalyst’s Delta Transfer feature enables large files to be sent once, and then only sends file changes to the destination, for incredibly fast delivery

FileCatalyst’s highly customizable platform enables easy integration and flexibility, allowing you to maintain your “look and feel.”

FileCatalyst simplifies international collaboration over large geographically dispersed areas with up to 10 Gbps line speeds.

Secure your transfers and keep them private with industry-standard encryption using AES and SSL

As VR becomes a more commonly used tool in AEC, FileCatalyst allows you to move these files across your organization with ease

Use Cases

Project Management

When working on AEC projects, large numbers of organizations, all with vastly different roles, come together to work towards the same goal of finishing the structure, infrastructure, or whatever the finished goal may be. Without help, it can become very difficult to manage plans, blueprints, AutoCAD, 3ds Max files and all their various versions.

With FileCatalyst, not only do you get multi-gigabit transfer speeds for your project, but you can also use FileCatalyst as a central storage location for one or more “web folders” – keeping all of your files organized, managed and accessible to all of the team members, from anywhere.

Collaboration

When it comes to AEC, team members working on the project may be many miles away from the actual site, and the rest of their team may be dispersed across the world. When using traditional file transfer methods that leverage the FTP/TCP protocols, packet loss and other forms of latency can have detrimental effects on transfer speeds.

No matter where your design files have to go or what files you need to receive, FileCatalyst Direct provides your project with transfer speeds that will move files at unprecedented speeds, up to 10 Gbps. FileCatalyst Direct also provides client applications that sync data across all of your organization’s endpoints.
