“Final Fantasy VII Remake Cancelled?” Fast File Transfers Prevent This Situation
Summary
Over the past ten years, the gaming industry has ballooned into one of the main producers of large data files. FileCatalyst Workflow is a solution that allows game developers, like the ones who worked on the Final Fantasy VII Remake, to easily cross collaborate via password protected web portals and/or email. Game developers are naturally protective of their artwork, they are in a cutthroat industry and the competition is constantly looking to poach ideas. When IO Interactive was challenged with managing their large data transfers across multiple outsourced studios they searched for a solution and discovered FileCatalyst. With FileCatalyst Direct, IO Interactive has maximized their bandwidth and substantially boosted productivity by having the ability to send large files in a fraction of the time that it took them when using FTP/TCP.
