Axway SecureTransport - Simple and Secure Managed File Transfer

SecureTransport is a secure, multi-protocol managed file transfer solution that simplifies and secures file transfers between people, sites, applications and external partners and delivers clear visibility into when and where information is moving - inside and outside your enterprise firewall.

Designed to handle both interactive, user-driven communications and automated file transfer over the Internet and private IP networks, SecureTransport allows your IT organization to easily consolidate disparate systems, replace costly VANs and VPN connections, automate and streamline applications, and simplify compliance with policies and regulations.

SecureTransport’s familiar protocols (such as FTP/s, HTTP/s, SSH-FTP, SCP and AS2), powerful browser-based options and client endpoints, and flexible security controls, directory integration, transmission models, and integration options accommodate diverse application and partner needs. And, because SecureTransport is based on open standards, it easily integrates with existing IT infrastructures and file transfer processes to leverage and preserve your investments.

Security:

  • Multiple layers of protection include transparent document and repository encryption, secured connections, authenticated partner access, data integrity checks, and non-repudiation of origin and receipt using signed digital receipts.
  • Axway Edge provides an additional layer of protection for inbound and outbound information through secure data streaming across the DMZ.

Manageability:

  • A consolidated point of entry and exit for all file-based transactions makes it easy to monitor and control your operations.
  • An intuitive graphical user interface combines high-level message tracking and detailed views designed for ease of use and rapid adoption.
  • Delegated ddministration enables distribution of management tasks to business units or work groups

Usability:

  • Inexpensive, secure, easy-to-deploy, and easy-to-support Secure Client and browser-based Rich Internet Client endpoints allow you to establish and control last-mile connections with members of your trading community. SecureTransport also supports many third-party clients and web interfaces.
  • The SecureTransport Rich Internet Client allows users to transfer files from their computers or networks to a SecureTransport server, and create, delete, and rename folders on the SecureTransport server. In addition three standard Browser Client templates are provided for file based exchanges over secure HTTP.
  • Axway Secure Client, a standalone, secured FTP(s), HTTP(s), and SSH client designed to operate with an RFC-compliant server. When used with SecureTransport, Secure Client guarantees data delivery and data integrity while preserving network bandwidth.

Visibility:

  • A Web-based user interface consolidates all facets of administration, configuration, monitoring, and analysis of file-transfer activities and applications with real-time reports and alerts.
  • Strong audit trails demonstrate compliance with government regulations and protect against legal liability.
  • SecureTransport give you the ability to collect, aggregate, and report on events from SecureTransport and other products, applications, and systems throughout your infrastructure for end to end monitoring, reporting, alerting and KPI/SLA management.

Reliability and Performance:

  • Guaranteed delivery, checkpoint/restart, resubmit, and near real-time document exchange (as opposed to batch or once daily) speeds the pace of business.
  • Rapid scalability and centralized management allow dynamic data exchange with legacy applications and infrastructures, with no limits on document size. 
  • Optional large scale clustering scales to even the most dynamic, vast environments, with an unlimited number of connections.
  • Tuning capabilities optimize the processing of transactions within your system to accommodate peak volumes and steady-stream processing.

Scalability and Resilience

Two clustering models meet the unique demands of your organization, blending low TCO and scalability:

  • Standard clustering - enables Active/Active and Active/Passive deployments, with no dependency on an external database. This option provides efficient, low total cost of ownership for organizations in need of both redundancy and scalability. 
  • Large enterprise clustering - enables demanding organizations to leverage an external database to scale up to 20 nodes, with virtually unlimited connections. This option also includes policy-based management of server-side tasks, additional tuning capabilities, and flexibility.

Integration and Interoperability

  • SecureTransport is fully integrated with Axway Transfer CFT, a non-intrusive multi-platform file and message transfer controller designed for growing organizations that need to maintain business agility. Ensuring the same quality of service and a uniform interface to users and applications throughout the enterprise - regardless of the underlying platforms - Axway Transfer CFT reduces the design, implementation, and operations costs associated with increasingly complex and interdependent business processes.
  • A rich set of application integration capabilities allows you to merge processes, data, and file transfer in the enterprise infrastructure to create a significant business value. Capabilities include event-driven workflow, a rules-based framework for file processing and routing, and seamless integration with other MFT systems such as Sterling Commerce Connect:Direct (NDM).

Other Axway gateways include:

  • Interchange, a high performance B2B gateway ideal for organizations that need to create and manage sophisticated B2B communities with hundreds of business partners and multiple business units, across distributed geographic locations.
  • Gateway, with built-in support for industry-specific protocols, including ETEBAC and EBICS.
  • Specialized B2Bi gateways for the financial services, healthcare, and automotive markets.
  • Robust DMZ Security gateways that secure data as it flows into your enterprise from the Internet and out of your enterprise through your firewall.
