File Catalyst:Unlimitech Software: Pretending to Be a Customer
February 3, 2009 by Greg Ferro · Leave a Comment
So a “Mark Johnson — makr324@hotmail.com” — posts a comment on my article on How Long it Takes to transfer data :
“This is the exact problem my company faced about 6 months ago. We actually looked at WAN acceleration applicances like Riverbed but then found a software solution called FileCatalyst (www.filecatalyst.com) that was way more cost effective. This software doesn’t use TCP for file transfer but rather UDP with some proprietary stuff on top of it to make sure it is reliable. We have have been able to maximum our 45 Mbps link from LA to Tokyo. With FTP we pretty much had to ship hard drives with the files it was taking so long.”
However, he works for the company that makes this software. The comment IP is registered to “UNLIMITECH SOFTWARE York Mills UNLIMITECH-SOFTWARE ” according to ARIN. And UNLIMITECH make the File Catalyst software
Companies who can’t be honest and trustworthy are unlikely to be successful. You be the judge whether they are good or bad company to do business.

I have been working with Windows folks for a long time, and I have not seen this tool used before. As a networking guy maybe I missed it.
I often deploy a number of Windows servers to monitor and manage networks (typically with open source and Ciscoworks). I recently discovered the MMC Snap-in for Remote Desktops which makes my life simpler by letting you switch between many consoles at once on a Windows desktop. This is a quick overview on how to configure this for yourself.

No doubt that the Cisco Nexus 7000 switch is a fine piece of technology. The performance and throughput is welcome, and clearly offers some fine new capabilities such as virtualisation, ISSU, better OOB and so on. I am sure that everyone can perceive the positive messages, lets face it, Cisco isn’t going to be shy in telling us about them.
However, lets consider the issue from the perspective of the architect/designer and how Cisco has positioned this in the marketplace. From an architecture perspective, I will need to commit a substantial capex to the product and a much larger amount of resource cost to transition a network to use the product. Even if I am building new data centres (and thus have no legacy), changes to operating standards, procedures, management tools and other orchestration issues present substantial barriers to adoption.
