Linoma Software announces accelerated file transfer and security domains in latest release of GoAnywhere MFT


Johannesburg, 06 Jun 2016

SPI, the African distributor for utility software products and services to the Open Systems segment of the IT industry, and the Sub-Saharan Africa distributor for GoAnywhere products from Linoma Software, today announced the latter's two significant enhancements in Version 5.2 of its award winning GoAnywhere Managed File Transfer software. A new file transfer acceleration protocol called GoFast improves delivery speed and reliability when compared to traditional FTP, and Domains allows organisations to segregate users and workflows to provide an additional layer of data security.

The new GoFast protocol uses multiple UDP channels to accelerate the movement of files between servers. This acceleration is especially useful for moving large files, including videos and backup sets, across the Internet or wide area networks. Options are provided in GoFast to protect confidential transfers with strong AES-256 encryption, as well as compress transmissions to minimise bandwidth requirements. Since GoFast is a feature within the GoAnywhere Managed File Transfer solution, it takes full advantage of the available automation, auditing and reporting capabilities in the product.

Domains can be used to segregate GoAnywhere MFT into multiple security zones where authorised users can only work with trading partners, workflows and logs belonging to their assigned domains. This functionality benefits organisations that need to share a single installation of GoAnywhere with multiple divisions or departments, while maintaining separation of administrative access. Each domain can be locked into certain network folders to prevent unauthorised access by other administrators.

Current GoAnywhere MFT customers that upgrade to the current release also gain new functionality for workflow automation and user authentication. Highlights for some of the new features include:

* Support for Amazon S3 Buckets and WebDAV resources that can be used as file storage for trading partners and workflows.
* Support for popular SMS gateways and SMNP servers to make it easier to automate alerts and notifications.
* Project revision history tracking that allows the restoration of workflows to previous versions.
* RSA RADIUS Login methods with Two-Factor-Authentication using key fobs or token apps.
* Additional logs and change history to track administrator user activity on the system.
