Attachmate Corporation today announced the availability of Attachmate FileXpress, a family of products targeted at the managed file transfer (MFT) software market.
Today, organisations require file transfer solutions that can handle an expanding volume of files that are growing in size, and deliver those files to locations around the world. FileXpress software offers broad and powerful solutions for the electronic delivery of large files to anyone and anywhere, regardless of platform or applications.
FileXpress delivers secure file exchanges over the Internet, differentiating itself from competitive solutions on the market through its ability to support both user-driven and automated file transfers.
With support for stringent data security regulations through powerful encryption, authentication, auditing and role-based administration functionalities, FileXpress enables effective B2B integration with partners, vendors, suppliers and customers.
Within the data centre, FileXpress provides a file transfer infrastructure that enables the movement of files across a broad range of platforms, including Windows, Unix, Linux and IBM z/OS. Automation capabilities such as events and post-processing actions, coupled with centralised administration, auditing, and alerting make FileXpress a powerful solution for unifying process-driven intra-server transfers.
“The market for managed file transfer software is extremely competitive,” said Maureen Fleming, program director for IDC. “As business process automation and outsourcing drive the convergence of IT ownership for both outbound file exchanges with trading partners, and cross-platform internal file transfers, the MFT software vendors best positioned for success offer strong solutions that span and integrate across both environments.”
Secure file transfer, multi-platform support
Attachmate FileXpress products include FileXpress Internet Server, FileXpress Platform Server and FileXpress Command Centre to manage and execute the secure delivery of files with key features and functionalities, including:
* Strategic cross-platform and Internet-based file exchanges
With support for Windows, z/OS, Unix and Linux, organisations can leverage FileXpress to centrally configure, execute, monitor and audit all file transfer activity between their critical internal systems. FileXpress also enables external transfers over the Internet and across all major platforms, from Windows to the mainframe.
* Compliance with data security regulations
For organisations that regularly transfer sensitive information, FileXpress enables compliance with security regulations, including PCI, Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA and others. It also supports a broad range of secure file transfer protocols, including HTTPS, FTP/S, SFTP, PGP over FTP and AS2.
* Unparalleled automation capabilities
FileXpress allows organisations to save time and reduce costs by eliminating manual efforts in business processes that involve file transfer. It offers powerful automation capabilities such as monitored directories, post-processing on transferred files and Web-services support.
"FileXpress marks Attachmate's official entry into the managed file transfer market," said Eric Varness, vice-president of marketing for Attachmate. "We have customers in multiple industries around the world and they all perform file transfers every day. Regardless if it is in government, healthcare, financial services or manufacturing, FileXpress will enable our customers to save time and money by automating routine data transfer tasks and easily integrating into a multi-platform network."
