Managed File Transfer Workflow Engine

Data workflows are the lifeblood of organizations, but often the applications and processes that support them are often less than ideal. Some recurring tasks are still done manually. Automated tasks may depend on custom scripts that can be time-consuming to maintain. Decentralized workflows can be challenging to monitor and audit. And the variety of applications, processes and systems that some workflows use can make it difficult to achieve compliance with privacy and security requirements.

As a result, organizations of all sizes are wasting far too much time, effort, and money moving their data, and trying to protect their most important information. It doesn't have to be that way.

The Ipswitch MOVEit Central line of software solutions will help your organization to centralize, streamline, secure and automate your most complex data transfers and workflows—regardless of the platforms, network architectures, operating systems and protocols involved. With a MOVEit Central product your IT staff can quickly and easily do the following from their workstations.

  • "Click together" logical, reusable host definitions and workflow tasks
  • Process data and files using built-in, pre-configured scripts and macros

A Flexible, Easy-to-Own Solution

A Flexible, Easy-to-Own Solution for Enterprises

MOVEit Central Enterprise is the industry's most flexible file transfer workflow solution. It is quick and easy to deploy with typical deployments measured in days - not months or years - and without the need for costly professional services. In addition, MOVEit Central Enterprise delivers automatic high availability with an optional Failover Module and requires no third-party components.

Since MOVEit Central is standards-based, scalable, and integrates easily with your existing infrastructure -including deployment across segmented networks and distributed architectures, offers seamless integration with Microsoft SQL Server, and supports virtualization platforms - it is the easiest and most flexible solution to own, use, and maintain.

Optional Modules

MOVEit Central Enterprise Optional Modules

To enhance your organization's overall functionality and capabilities, MOVEit Central Enterprise delivers four optional modules:

  • Failover Module: In the event of server failure or abnormal termination, this failover module provides automatic failover to a secondary, redundant server to ensure maximize uptime and prevent data loss.
  • OpenPGP Module: This optional module delivers powerful PGP encryption/decryption and key management functionality, enabling users to encrypt, encrypt-and-sign, and decrypt as part of new or existing tasks (available with MOVEit Central Corporate as well).
  • AS1, AS2 and AS3 Protocols Module: Ability for secure EDI and supply chain transfer over EDIINT AS1, AS2 and AS3 encrypted prot ocols to exchange structured data electronically.
  • API Interface Module: Third-party programs, scripts, workflows, document management, and other processing powers can be programmed to control file transfer transfers and data processes.

Task Automation

MOVEit Central Solution Tasks

MOVEit Central solutions make all of this possible with an intuitive interface that generates easy-to-create tasks without the need for extensive programming. Each task can handle multiple files, types, sizes, sources, and destinations - as well as use many different transfer protocols.

Tasks can also automatically process files during transfer with many built-in functions (including a commercially licensed OpenPGP option) as well as sample and custom VBS scripts.

MOVEit Central solutions can easily run multiple, simultaneous tasks to move files between a wide variety of systems, including:

  • Internal network-based systems, such as mainframe and mid-range systems and application, email files, and Web servers.
  • Local DMZ-segment-based systems, such as MOVEit DMZ or other secure file transfer servers.
  • Remote, Internet-accessible systems, such as FTP, secure FTP, and MOVEit DMZ servers.
  • Built-In scripts and macros that can ZIP files, run command-line applications, find and replace character strings in text files, transform XML files using XSL documents, do MOVEit Central Enterprise database cleanups, create and distribute MOVEit DMZ reports, and more.
  • Custom scripts to execute any command-line utility that can be run by a batch file, as well as programs with COM interfaces, and script interpreters like Perl.

Developers, scripts, and third-party programs - including job schedulers, workflow, document management, and more - can control MOVEit Central Enterprise file transfer and processing capabilities using the MOVEit Central API interface option.

File Transfer Methods You Prefer

Use the File Transfer Method You Prefer

MOVEit Central solutions can automatically transfer files using any combination of these popular, commonly used methods:

  • AS1, AS2 and AS3 (SSL): With the AS1, AS2, and AS3 Secure File Transfer Option, users can define which file transfer method they use for exchanging structured data over the Internet - regardless of protocol.
  • Copying to the local file system and/or to shared network folders.
  • FTP (File Transfer Protocol), which is included with or installed on, virtually every operating system.
  • FTPS (FTP over SSL) including IMPLICIT or TLS-P (EXPLICIT) and Active or Passive mode transfers, is native to z/OS and AS/400 and popular on Windows.
  • HTTP Hypertext Transport protocol to Web servers.
  • HTTPS (HTTP over SSL) to MOVEit DMZ servers.
  • SFTP/SCP2 (FTP over SSH/Secure Copy Protocol 2) typically supported on Linux and UNIX systems.
  • SMTP/POP3 email protocols to create messages, attach files, and send them to end users. These protocols can also be used to receive email, strip-off attached files, and forward using any of the above transfer methods.

Improve Operational Security

Improve Operational Security

To protect your operational security, many safeguards have been designed into MOVEit Central solutions and MOVEit Admin.

  • Built-in end-to-end encryption, non-repudiation & guaranteed delivery.
  • Encrypted transfer over SSL (FTPS/HTTPS), SSH (SFTP) and EDIINT ASx protocols.
  • OpenPGP Module enables unlimited automatic encrypt/decrypt and key management.
  • Tamper evident cryptographic logging to built-in database or Microsoft SQL server.
  • FIPS 140-2 Cryptography validated by the US National Institute of Standards and Testing (NIST) and the Canadian Communications Security Establishment (CSE).
  • File Non-Repudiation is the ability to prove who sent and received a file, and that it was not corrupted or changed during transfer. MOVEit Central Enterprise supports this using its built-in FIPS-validated SHA-1 hashing when exchanging files with a MOVEit DMZ server.
  • Automatic Failover option enables a MOVEit Central to gracefully failover from a primary to a hot standby secondary system, without operator intervention.
  • Enables compliance with regulations such as HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOX, Basel II and GLBA.
  • Authentication required for accessing MOVEit Central Enterprise's administrative interface, to protect tasks from unauthorized changes/usage.
  • Secure communications between MOVEit Central Enterprise and MOVEit Admin, provided with industry-standard 128-bit key SSL encrypted TCP (not SNMP).
  • An alternate host option enables a MOVEit Central Enterprise to gracefully failover from a primary to a hot standby secondary system, without operator intervention.
  • Encrypted storage of usernames, passwords and scripts, using FIPS-validated 256-bit key AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), the latest and strongest NIST and CSE-approved encryption.
  • Real-time monitoring of status and activity displays, and diagnostic and trouble-shooting data.
  • Comprehensive logging of all tasks and errors to MOVEit Central Enterprise's built-in ODBC accessible database.
  • Detailed reporting using scheduled tasks to generate and deliver reports, and also by third-party billing/tracking applications (via ODBC).
