• Provide a configurable workflow for flexible and dynamic file handling and routing.

Axway Secure Transport - Features

Current Features

• High-end Performance, Scalability and Reliability: SecureTransport is the most scalable and resilient MFT product on the market, with both Standard Clustering and Large Enterprise Clustering models to meet a wide range of capacity requirements.
  
  
  • Guaranteed delivery, checkpoint/restart, resubmit, and near real-time document exchange (as opposed to batch or once daily) ensure that file transfers keep pace with your business.
    
  • Standard Clustering enables Active/Active and Active/Passive deployments, with no dependency on an external database
    
  • Large Enterprise Clustering ensures service availability, provides elasticity and can scale up to 20 nodes with virtually unlimited concurrent connections while leveraging an external database.
    
  • File Transfer Acceleration enables the transfer of high volumes of data to ensure files are delivered on-time and within SLAs established by the business. Secure Transport utilises pTCP with PeSIT protocols to accelerate the transfer of files between two SecureTransport servers and between a SecureTransport server and an Axway Transfer CFT server.
    
  • A native 64-bit architecture scales to support increasing data volumes, expansion across multiple business units, and growing customer and partner communities. (There are no limits on document size).
    
    
• Industry-leading Security and Governance: SecureTransport delivers end-to-end controls and clear visibility into when and where data is traveling inside and outside your enterprise firewall no matter what applications, systems, or platforms you and your trading partners have in place.
  
  
  • Data is secured in transit, never stored within the DMZ, and stored encrypted while at rest on the server, regardless of the underlying transport network.
    
  • Delegated administration and customer self-service give business units and end users the autonomy to manage their own requirements.
    
  • Strong audit trails protect against legal liability and demonstrate compliance with a wide range of industry and government mandates, such as HIPAA, SOX, PCI, SEPA and GLBA.
    
  • You can manage, track, and audit file transfers with SecureTransport and add Axway Sentinel to monitor business performance against SLAs, track KPIs in real time, and offer self-service capabilities to your customers.
    
  • The repository is accessible via an API and is fully encrypted to ensure that no content can be viewed even in the event of a security breach. SecureTransport also supports Hardware Support Modules (HSM), which help ensure PCI compliance.
    
  • User-friendly governance and configuration capabilities include delegated administration and pre-defined and configurable workflows.
    
    
• Integration and Interoperability with Existing Infrastructures: Secure Transport integrates easily with your existing IT infrastructure and file transfer processes to leverage and preserve your investments.
  
  
  • Reduce configuration time and cost and lower ongoing operational costs with a proven architecture for building loosely coupled, highly scalable applications.
    
  • Use the REST-based Web Services API framework and other integration capabilities to merge processes, data, and file transfers using event-driven workflow, rules-based file processing and routing, and seamless integration with other MFT systems such as Sterling Commerce Connect:Direct (NDM).
    
  • Integration with Axway Transfer CFT, a non-intrusive multi-platform file and message transfer controller, ensures the same quality of service and a uniform interface to users and applications throughout the enterprise.
    
    
• Easy-to-use and implement: A single MFT gateway solution for connecting with your entire trading community improves the management of all file transfers, enhances business relationships, and reduces software, training, and maintenance costs.
  
  
  • Enable ad hoc human-to-human, human-to-system, and system-to system file transfers with the same high level of security and standards expected of enterprise-grade software solutions.
    
  • 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.
    
  • Automate the flow of information (EDI, statements, images, CAD/CAM designs, etc.) with external partners, customers, suppliers, and regulatory bodies without the high cost of VANs/VPNs, additional infrastructure or proprietary software.
    
  • Leverage the Internet to communicate with your trading community over HTTP/S, FTP/S, SSH, SFTP and AS2. SecureTransport is also interoperable with third-party clients.
