Clustering for Axway SecureTransport

Uninterrupted MFT service for enterprises of any size

To help ensure that mission-critical business processes and services like Managed File Transfer (MFT) are “always on”, IT organizations often implement clusters of loosely connected computers, or “nodes.” If a node fails, work is dispersed among the others in the cluster. And if data and transaction volumes exceed the capabilities of the cluster, additional nodes can be easily added.

Axway SecureTransport, an enhanced MFT gateway, helps organizations ensure business continuity through clustering. Standard and Large Enterprise Clustering options for SecureTransport leverage leading and emerging technologies to improve performance, management, scalability, and resiliency.

• Standard Clustering enables active/active and active/passive deployments, with no dependency on an external database. This option provides efficiency and a low total cost of ownership for organizations that need both redundancy and scalability.
• Large Enterprise Clustering (LEC) leverages an in-memory data grid (IMDG) and an external Oracle database, enabling organizations to:
  • Scale to 20 nodes with unlimited concurrent connections and up to a 200-percent performance improvement per node over Standard Clustering.
  • Gain elastic scalability in physical and virtual deployments by adding capacity to support peak loads or unplanned growth. Adding nodes does not require downtime for the cluster.
  • Use policy-based load balancing to isolate lines of business and server tasks in different parts of the cluster.
  • Improve resiliency/disaster recovery with more nodes in service and faster recovery times.
