Axway Transfer CFT
is a non-intrusive
multi-platform file and
message transfer
controller designed for
growing organizations
that need to maintain
business agility.
Ensuring the same
quality of service and a
uniform interface to
users and applications
throughout the
enterprise — regardless
of the underlying
platforms — Axway
Transfer CFT reduces the
design, implementation,
and operations costs
associated with
increasingly complex and
interdependent business
processes.
Axway Transfer CFT is
more flexible,
manageable, scalable and
secure than
conventional,
application-based file
transfer approaches.
Meet changing
business requirements in
any IT environment.
Lines of business (LOBs)
typically focus on
reaching their own
objectives, and on
enhancing IT performance
to meet targets in a
timely manner. At the
same time, more and more
processes must run
across
multiple LOBs in an
organization. All of
this complexity must be
synchronized, with full
visibility into file
transfer status for all
parties – and that means
deploying a complete
Managed File Transfer
solution such as Axway
Transfer CFT. To deal
with legacy
heterogeneity, Axway
Transfer CFT provides
inherent data-conversion
capabilities across more
than 20 different
platforms, from Windows
to UNIX and Linux, to
mainframes and the
AS400.
Axway Transfer CFT is
easier to integrate with
applications than either
message queuing or ESB
solutions, and can
extend those
technologies to create a
more complete solution –
especially when dealing
with large-file
transfer.
You can also implement
different modes of
event-driven data
transfer. For example,
you can use Axway
Transfer CFT as a server
to broadcast multiple
files from a mainframe
to distributed
applications, and you
can also use it as a
client to pull data from
branch offices to
corporate headquarters.
You can submit new
transfer requests from
Web Services invocation,
Java classes, C/Cobol
APIs, a command-line
interface, or a
Web-based user
interface.
Protect sensitive
data.
SSL-secured
connections ensure the
authentication of
connected endpoints, as
well as the integrity
and confidentiality of
exchanged data. In
addition, Axway Transfer
CFT can leverage S/MIME,
CMS and/or PGP to
encrypt and decrypt data
at rest based on
security policies you
define. That means files
are secured from the
moment they are created,
independent of the data
communication method
used for file delivery.
And Axway Transfer CFT
ensures non-repudiation
through built-in
cryptographic file
integrity testing, user
authentication,
encrypted transfer and
storage, and a
centralized audit trail.
Improve manageability
and visibility.
Axway
Transfer CFT does a lot
more than move data
around securely.
Business-oriented
monitoring, transfer
services and end-to-end
configuration and
control are available
and adaptable for both
business managers and IT
staff. Axway Transfer
CFT enables you to view
the state of transfers,
audit transfer histories
in compliance with
government regulations,
receive alerts when a
problem occurs
(including non-events),
and quickly act to
remedy transfer issues.
Axway Transfer CFT
leverages Axway Sentinel
to provide visibility
into real-time and/or
event-based information
on any node of your
Transfer CFT network;
and supports non-event
correlation, interactive
dashboards and
multi-channel alerts.
Leverage the benefits
of highly scalable
governance.
Axway Transfer CFT’s
inherently scalable
governance capabilities
deliver the power of
centralized management –
regardless of how much
your organization grows
– so that even thousands
of instances with
hundreds of combined
applications,
configurations and files
can be easily managed.
In particular, the
ability to
self–register,
configure, monitor and
update nodes enables
deployment of patches
from one central
location, using fewer IT
resources. And, for
added control, you can
create and centrally
manage groups of any
size – by country,
division, message type
and more. To ensure
ease-of-use and
guarantee security, all
governance features are
available from outside
the network using
secured Single Sign-On (SSO).
Reduce Cost and
Optimize IT resources.
Configurable strategies
for connection retries,
checkpoint/restart, and
backup paths optimize
usage of IT resources
and infrastructure and
help minimize
labor-intensive,
break-and-fix
procedures. Parallel
transfer allows you to
perform multiple tasks
simultaneously. Other
advanced features
include logical naming,
store-and-forward file
routing, broadcasting,
priority planning and
file compression.
With support for EBICS
(Windows and UNIX
platforms), Axway
Transfer CFT can help
organizations achieve
SEPA-readiness.
Organizations can
decrease the cost of
payment operations by
migrating off of the
FTAM and ETEBAC
protocols, and phasing
out X25.
Maximize business
responsiveness and
fulfill SLAs.
Axway Transfer CFT
enables just-in-time
file-data processing
with either an
event-oriented approach
to processing or a
conventional,
schedule-based approach.
This means that file
data is processed as
soon as the event
occurs, eliminating all
latencies and providing
fast, Straight-Through
Processing (STP).
Missing deadlines or
SLAs because large files
don’t arrive on time can
be costly, leading to
fines, botched
production schedules and
added interest payments.
But with Axway Transfer
CFT, you can accelerate
the transfer of large
files – even across
great distances –using
our File Transfer
Acceleration option for
Windows and UNIX
