FileCatalyst technology replaces standard TCP transmission with a proprietary User Datagram Protocol (UDP)-based algorithm.
Sharing large research datasets or patient information securely, ensuring PII/PHI is redacted.
Broadcasters and production houses move terabytes of uncompressed 4K/8K video daily. FileCatalyst ensures these files hit production deadlines. Clearswift ensures that these files do not contain embedded malware or leak confidential scripts and metadata ahead of a release. Defense and Aerospace
This is the "File Transfer Bottleneck." It slows down production cycles, frustrates partners, and creates shadow IT risks as employees look for unauthorized workarounds. clearswift filecatalyst
The solution addresses regulatory requirements (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ITAR) automatically. The Deep Content Inspection engine acts as an automated gatekeeper, removing the reliance on employees to correctly identify and secure sensitive files.
UDP is not only faster but also more resilient to network congestion and packet loss. When TCP encounters lost packets, the sender must wait for acknowledgment before resending, causing significant delays. With UDP, lost packets are simply discarded, and transmission continues uninterrupted.

To get accurate pricing, organizations must complete a quote request form on the Fortra website. A sales representative then provides a customized quote based on specific needs.
For organizations ready to evaluate this solution, the next step is to request a personalized quote from Fortra or an authorized reseller, and to conduct a proof-of-concept deployment to verify performance under real-world conditions.
The Clearswift SIG allowed Mercury to augment the security of critical information flowing through its infrastructure while applying industry compliance data protection standards like PCI DSS. "The granular levels of control were appealing," said Vishakh Lakshmikanth, Head of Cloud Engineering. "Clearswift allows us to apply nimble, yet impactful policies that internal and external constituents benefit from". virtualized in VMware
Before the file is written to permanent storage or allowed into the corporate network, the FileCatalyst Server routes the file to the Clearswift Secure ICAP Gateway.
: Sanitizes content (e.g., removing active content from PDFs) rather than just blocking it, allowing safe business operations to continue.
: Detailed reporting and tracking ensure that all transfers are audited, helping meet regulations like HIPAA or GDPR. Reporting and Management
The combined solution is infrastructure-agnostic. It can be deployed on-premises as physical hardware appliances, virtualized in VMware, or run in cloud environments like AWS and Azure.
