File Transfer Acceleration for Axway SecureTransport

Move files faster to meet or exceed SLAs

When a time-sensitive file doesn’t arrive on time, the negative impacts to your business — from slipped schedules, to SLA penalties, to tarnished reputations — can be immediate and potentially severe. Whether the delay was caused by limited network bandwidth or high network latency, increasing the size of the pipe may be a tempting quick fix, but it is not a long-term answer.

To prevent file transfer delays over the long term, you need a Managed File Transfer (MFT) infrastructure that can keep up with changing business conditions, tight customer and partner SLAs, growing file sizes, and expected and unexpected spikes in data volume.

Axway SecureTransport is an enhanced MFT gateway that utilizes advanced MFT functionality to help ensure that critical data is delivered on time. SecureTransport uses the Parallel Transmission Control Protocol (pTCP), in conjunction with the PeSIT file transfer protocol, to overcome bandwidth and latency issues by optimizing utilization of your data pipe. Faster and smarter than FTP, this approach accelerates the transfer of files between two SecureTransport servers (or between a SecureTransport server and an Axway Transfer CFT server) by transmitting data simultaneously over two or more separate paths, rather than serially over a single wire.

In addition, SecureTransport’s pTCP-based acceleration capabilities enable organizations to more efficiently move files in multiple ways:

• Improve and simplify file transfer management — SecureTransport offers advanced MFT functionality that is easy to implement and easy to use, including an intuitive graphical user interface that gives authorized business and IT users visibility into all file transfer activities, delegated administration and customer self-service capabilities, and transparent enforcement of security policy across all file-movement activities.
• Integrate, merge, and automate processes, data, and file transfers — SecureTransport utilizes the REST-based Web Services API framework and other integration capabilities, and provides event-driven workflow, rules-based file processing and routing, and seamless integration with other MFT systems.
