In today's fast-paced digital landscape, the cloud has emerged as a cornerstone for innovation and growth. It’s often been established as an organizational mandate or strategy for the future.
As organizations embark on their journey to the cloud, seamless file transfer becomes more critical than ever. At Axway we are committed to supporting our customer's cloud migrations with our Managed File Transfer (MFT) solutions, targeted to advance your business value at every step.
With our vision and roadmap, we can help you navigate the complexities of cloud migrations and operations.
More choices: validation of additional cloud platforms
Expanding beyond our current support for leading cloud platforms like AWS and Azure, we are now validating the growing popularity of other cloud platforms, such as Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
With increased flexibility and choice, customers can optimize their cloud strategy to suit their unique needs and objectives, which often include hybrid cloud deployments or vendor independence.
Through the availability to purchase our solutions in major cloud marketplaces, we streamline the procurement process and expedite time-to-value, enabling customers to use allocated funds efficiently.
More agility: support for container deployment
In cloud-native environments, agility is not only expected but increasingly recognized as a critical business accelerator.
Since last year we have been working on the possibility to provide support for container deployments in cloud-native container orchestration platforms like Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) or Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
Soon, you can start adopting an optimized architecture of our MFT solution to modernize your infrastructure, improve resource utilization, and streamline your file transfer service with ease into your CI/CD pipelines.
Seamless updates: zero downtime capabilities
Moving applications to the cloud often comes with the expectations of great resiliency and minimizing downtime. Keeping systems up to date helps to maximize security, performance, compatibility, and usability, ensuring that your organization can make the most of your MFT service.
But this should not come at the expense of disrupting operations or more critically, the business. With our zero downtime update capabilities, you can apply updates and enhancements seamlessly, without any interruptions to your file transfer processes. This will become available for your own managed deployments or with our MFT Cloud Service.
You can work with your Axway team to discuss the possibilities of engaging early with us and participate in a beta program for early access and preview for your own deployment.
Compliance: PCI readiness for MFT cloud service
Security and compliance are non-negotiable, especially when handling sensitive data.
We are working towards a fully PCI-compliant and certified offering for our MFT Cloud service, aligning with the strict requirements of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
With built-in controls and safeguards, you can trust our solutions to safeguard your data and maintain regulatory compliance.
Tailored solutions: new offer for MFT cloud service
We understand that one size doesn't fit all. That's why we will be introducing new offer bundling options, guiding our customers in their optimal service setup right for their business and integration with their ecosystem.
Whether you have large or smaller transfer volumes with high or medium criticality, we'll work with you to find the right level of service that maximizes value and efficiency.
Strengthened security: key vault integration
Protecting your application and infrastructure secrets is of utmost importance in today's threat landscape. That's why we are working towards a path to integrating key vault functionality for our MFT solution, providing an extra layer of security for all sensitive information.
With secure storage and management of cryptographic keys, passwords, and certificates, we are taking measures to safeguard access to these secrets step by step.
