Universal Data Mover Gateway (UDMG) – Secure B2B File Transfers

Securely transfer files with your external business partners.

Universal Data Mover Gateway (UDMG) is an enterprise-grade B2B managed file transfer (MFT) solution that automates, secures, and orchestrates file transfers between your internal network and external partners, vendors, and suppliers.

UDMG unifies MFT with real-time automation to:

  • Reduce time to value with streamlined onboarding and simplified management of protocols, partners, and users.
  • Centrally manage B2B MFT in real-time using a web-based interface for configuration, monitoring, reporting, and auditing.
  • Strengthen perimeter security with authorized file transfers in the DMZ — without opening inbound firewall ports.
  • Orchestrate backend applications and systems automatically once data is received or sent.

Securely Transfer Files with Your External Business Partners

As organizations modernize infrastructure and expand into multi-cloud environments, data must move securely and intelligently across hybrid IT boundaries. Stonebranch enables real-time hybrid cloud file transfer orchestration — embedding secure data movement into automated workflows that span mainframe, distributed systems, containers, and public cloud platforms.

Automation-First Orchestrated MFT

Unlike traditional MFT solutions that operate in isolation, UDMG embeds managed file transfers directly into UAC’s event-driven automation workflows. Trigger downstream processes automatically, replace API polling with event-driven automation, and orchestrate end-to-end business processes in real time.

High Performance and High Availability

UDMG is built for real-time, high-volume data movement across partner ecosystems. Active-active and active-passive configurations ensure continuous availability, operational resilience, and enterprise scalability.

Secure B2B MFT Through the DMZ

UDMG uses a secure proxy-based architecture with SSL session break to enforce DMZ best practices. No inbound firewall ports are opened, and files do not persist in the DMZ. This significantly reduces attack surface and risk exposure while enabling seamless external connectivity.

End-to-End Observability and Auditability

Support regulatory compliance with centralized visibility into every transfer across your environment. UAC dashboards, OpenTelemetry standards, and a dedicated administrative interface provide real-time monitoring, detailed logging, and complete traceability. 

Streamlined Partner Onboarding

Onboard partners faster with federated authentication and flexible provisioning: LDAP/AD sync, SSO via SAML or OIDC/OAuth 2.0, or local management. Reusable templates minimize manual work and accelerate time-to-value.

Certificate and Credential Management

UDMG streamlines certificate lifecycle management with scheduled renewal and support for overlapping certificates. Pair with your HSM and centralize SSH/ PGP keys and credentials for secure, reusable access.

Advanced Multiprotocol B2B Communications

Enable secure, standards-based partner communication. UDMG manages and accelerates FTPS, SFTP, HTTPS, and AS2 across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments— supporting secure data exchange anywhere to anywhere.
