Secure and reliable file transfer for the datacenter
Moving files between applications and platforms within the datacenter often needs to be coordinated with other activities. Dependencies exist with extract programs, external transfers, scripts, application processes, etc. Opswise Managed File Transfer allows any data-center to seamlessly manage the movement of files in concert with all of the application processes that create, transform, and consume these data files. Opswise MFT seamlessly integrates with the Opswise manager or you existing workload automation tools and procedures.
How it works.
Opswise Managed File Transfer is a synchronous file transfer solution. This allows full control and visibility to file transfers from your workload automation tools. As well as the base capabilities for secure and reliable file transfers Opswise Managed File Transfer is rich with features that provide automation and integration.
At its simplest Opswise Managed File Transfer is a command or job that you can schedule to perform your file transfer tasks. But beyond this Opswise Managed File Transfer provides the features and capabilities needed to implement advanced management and automation of the business processes dependent on the data that you move throughout your IT infrastructure.
Secure Protocol
Opswise Managed File Transfer is implemented using the SSL standard. SSL provides encryption and data authentication capabilities.
Out of the box all control information, such as user names and passwords are encrypted. You can deploy and enforce encryption for your files globally or on an as needed basis.
Data authentication ensures that your files are delivered uncorrupted and complete.
Fault Tolerant Protocol
On TCP/IP networks the most common events that interrupt long running transactions such as file transfers are temporary in nature. For example, "premature close", and "connection reset by peer" errors. Checkpoint restart capabilities designed to recover from these errors can be complex to implement and significantly add to the overhead of file transfers. Opswise Managed File Transfer uses a fault tolerant protocol that is capable of automatically and seamlessly reestablishing a network session so that your files are transferred without interruption or manual intervention.
Centralized audit and reporting
Detailed information on all Opswise Managed File Transfer activities is maintained in a central repository and made available for auditing and reporting purposes.
