Posted on August 29, 2019 | Fast File Transfer

Ottawa, ON – FileCatalyst, an Emmy® award-winning pioneer in managed file transfers and a world-leading fast file transfer solutions, has announced today that Solaris Promo Production, have utilized FileCatalyst’s solutions to facilitate and enhance their remote production workflow. 

Solaris Promo Production is famously tied to the popular Russian reality television show, Dom 2. In the show, the contestants’ main objective is to construct a house while simultaneously trying to find a partner in the process. Couples then compete for the house itself. Solaris Promo Production additionally works with acclaimed cinema and television producers, top global chefs, and on project implementation both in Russia and abroad. 

Originally Dom 2 was filmed within the region of Moscow, but once the show’s popularity grew the filming was relocated to Seychelles, a small and remote country within East Africa. This created a timing and efficiency issue. It became evident that a fast file transfer solution was now a necessity for production to be successful. MM Communications, a valued partner of FileCatalyst, connected Solaris Promo Production with FileCatalyst’s products.   

Currently, Solaris Promo Production is working with FileCatalyst Direct Version 3.7 and the client application FileCatalyst Express. Solaris Promo Production had already acquired a Moscow production, which included a FreeBSD server with shared editorial storage attached, it was also capable of running FileCatalyst Direct. The NLE workstations connect to this server for video editing. After source files are prepared on the remote site, these are transferred manually to the server using the standard client application FileCatalyst Express. FileCatalyst Express is a simple 2-pane desktop transfer tool that allows Solaris Promo Production to Easily accelerate ad-hoc transfers on the fly. 

Immediately upon implementation, Solaris Promo Production noticed that the production files for Dom 2 were arriving at impressive speeds. The files were simple to transfer and with FileCatalyst’s guaranteed media file delivery Solaris Promo Production felt confident in this solution. 

“Our production is always on the go, we are doing the reality show and need to gather the new materials in time. FileCatalyst has given us a reliable solution to our daily tasks and is an integral part of our production workflow.” said, Aleksey Maksimishin, Head of the IT department at Solaris Promo Production
