Axway Transfer CFT

Simplify and secure your internal data flows across multiple sites and platforms

For over 40 years, Transfer CFT has been the unsung hero behind the success of some of the world’s largest businesses. It has supported the strategic objectives and growth of major industries, including automotive manufacturing, engineering, logistics, retail, and finance.

Transfer CFT takes the complexity out of integrating your file-based applications across platforms, operating systems, and locations. By using a decentralized peer-to-peer topology and open-ended architecture, you’ll ensure that data is being exchanged throughout your organization efficiently and securely.

Traditional MFT vs. Transfer CFT

Traditional MFT solutions are reliant on a hub-spoke architecture, where communication between agents must traverse a centralized MFT server. This creates a reliance on the MFT servers availability and increases transfer times. Transfer CFT uses either a mesh or peer-to-peer model, which improves resiliency, scalability, and transfer times.

Transfer CFT Benefits

A cost-effective and easy-to-scale solution for internal data exchange
Accelerate your cloud strategy with containerization, object storage integration, and data streaming
Invoke via REST API, command line/shell, web-interface, scheduling, and folder monitoring
Move files knowing data is secured at rest and in-transit, within and across zones
Guarantee end-to-end delivery, visibility, and control out-of-the-box
Meet SLAs with pTCP file acceleration
Route, compress, encrypt and convert files, so they arrive how and where you need them

Ensure your data is protected from cybercriminals targeting MFT vendors. Read our Security Commitment

Banking and finance

Financial data is highly regulated, requiring strong security controls and guaranteed deliveries, even in complex environments, including mainframes, legacy applications, and cloud infrastructure.

Transfer CFT uses more inherently secure SFTP and PeSIT; PeSIT has delivery guarantee controls
By supporting 16 different operating systems and streaming for object-based cloud storage, CFT connects almost anything, anywhere

Retail

Operating in high-paced, competitive retail markets requires agility to keep up with supply chains and customer demand. With slim profit margins, retailers need budget-friendly scalability.

With an open-ended architecture and support for containerization, Transfer CFT can be added on or dismantled quickly and easily
Transfer CFT is licensed against transfers, not the number of instances, keeping costs inline while meeting scalability demands

Manufacturing

Multi-regional offices/factories, decentralized IT, and large file requirements are common for manufacturing businesses that need to remain connected, yet agile, to meet localized requirements and strategies.

Transfer CFT uses multiple TCP connections to accelerate large file transfers over long distances
Integration with legacy tools and more modern data pipelines such as Apache Kafka makes Transfer CFT the ultimate data bridge

We are very satisfied with the Axway solution, because it is efficient, stable and reliable. Our file transfers are handled automatically; there is no manual intervention.
