Consolidating FTP Servers
Gain control of file transfer exchanges by consolidating servers into a single, manageable system.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a widely used method for transferring files within
and between companies and partner communities. The problem is that FTP has been
around for many years and has organically grown within organizations resulting in
some significant security, compliance, cost, and operational headaches.
Security Concerns
- How many FTP servers do you have across the network – each is a potential point
of data leakage
- Policing who has access to the FTP servers
- Liability when connecting with partners who do not have compatible security options
- Minimal system security options
Multiple FTP Servers create a Compliance and Auditing Nightmare
- No centralized managed and reporting capability
- How do you ensure FTP activity is logged and archived
- What data can people access and distribute
Operational Concerns
- Multiple Serves are each custom configured for specific tasks
- Maintenance and logistics have become difficult to manage and time consuming to
modify
- Simple changes or additions to automated processes often require professional services
- Multiple systems are difficult to integrate with other pieces internally and with
partners that have systems that use different security protocols
Multiple FTP Servers Increase the Total Cost of Ownership
Multiple hardware and server deployments increase capital costs and ongoing management
and maintenance costs.
Drive down costs, meet auditing requirements, and gain control of File Transfers
GlobalSCAPE EFT Server enables you to gain control of file transfer exchanges into
a single, manageable system which reduces your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
- Ease of use improves employee efficiency. Staff is now able to send large files
from their desktop. By replacing all proprietary coded and scripted systems, your
data workflows can be automated and managed by IT staff without custom programming.
- Broadest range of industry standard security protocols ensures that data is protected
in transit and at rest within your partner community.
- Flexibility means that your whole partner community can securely exchange data with
you from day one without any client deployment.
- Rapid deployment guarentees a quick Return On Investment (ROI).
- Scalability means future proofing file transfers.
