EFT High Availability (HA) Deployment

Sophisticated HA capabilities provide zero downtime and increase performance of your EFT file transfers

Globalscape EFT’s High Availability (HA) solution ensures continuous availability of critical applications and file transfer systems for employees, customers, and business partners with zero downtime.

Globalscape EFT with HA is easily installed, configured, and managed. It empowers businesses to:

•   Maintain availability through any planned or unplanned outage
•   Increase stability and flexibility using multiple nodes for load balancing
•   Enhance throughput and better meet important SLAs
•   Support large file transfer and event processing workloads
•   Synchronize nodes with message queuing
•   Automate workflows and event processing
•   Improve scalability by sharing common configurations across nodes, eliminating the need for multiple servers with different configurations
•   Manage HA cluster through a single admin instance, with no limit on node additions

Globalscape EFT uses active-active deployment to provide HA and load balancing for non-stop network availability. This helps keep your critical business processes flowing and helps ensure your business’s ability to meet important SLAs. Unlike active-passive failover clusters, all of the nodes in Globalscape EFT's active-active deployment are put to work in production—with no standby hardware and no clustering software.

You can ensure the availability of your managed file transfer infrastructure in AWS with Globalscape EFT. EFT is able to provide intra- and inter-region high availability deployed across multiple Availability Zones (AZs), thus providing more protection against failures in a single AZ. EFT supports AWS auto scaling, which scales up to accommodate peak traffic and down again once that traffic has passed.
