Go from scheduled disruption to seamless continuity with MFT zero downtime update
Your managed file transfer solution is a direct gateway to your partners and an integration hub for file transfers coming from numerous sources. So, it’s crucial that the MFT software you use is always up to date. But what if updating your MFT software means suspending operations? Will you bypass the latest patch because you can’t afford the consequences of MFT downtime?
Zero downtime update (ZDU) capabilities enable enterprises like yours to update their managed file transfer environments without grinding everything to a halt. Whether you’re migrating to the cloud or updating on-premises software with the latest patch, you no longer need to accept business disruption as a cost of progress.
Why zero downtime matters
Zero downtime updates are critical in managed file transfer operations because they ensure business continuity, security, and operational efficiency. That means:
No disruption in data flow
- File transfers are not interrupted
- Business processes are not delayed
- SLA violations are avoided
Dependable security and compliance
- Immediate deployment of fixes without waiting for maintenance windows
- Continuous compliance with regulations like HIPAA, GDPR, or PCI-DSS
- Latest security patches are always in place
- Minimized risk of potential cyberattacks
Greater operational efficiency
- No need to schedule off-hours maintenance
- No manual failover or rollback procedures
- Reduced risk of human error during updates
- Accelerated time to market for new use cases
High availability architecture
- 24/7/365 availability for mission-critical transfers
- Clustered deployment support
- Containerized environment support
- Cloud-native scalability
Always-on MFT. Zero disruption.
Zero downtime update uses a rolling update deployment technique so at least one cluster node is active at all times during an upgrade. If any issues are discovered while testing, it’s a simple matter of switching back to the stable environment. Organizations across industries that rely on uninterrupted file transfer operations — especially those with complex partner ecosystems or strict SLAs — benefit from ZDU.
