Acceleration
The FileCatalyst Service in GoAnywhere is an integrated service that provides enterprise-grade file acceleration for moving large data quickly from anywhere in the world, even in adverse network conditions.
Files can be transferred at speeds up to 10 times faster (or more) over traditional protocols, such as SFTP, FTPS or HTTP. Plus, those files can be sent even while they are still growing or are being encoded. This service makes it possible to accelerate your data for time-sensitive file transfer workflows
