MassTransit 6.0: Key to enterprisewide managed file transfer
By Manufacturing Business Technology Staff -- Manufacturing Business Technology, 11/13/2008 6:19:00 PM
Group Logic, a provider of Managed File Transfer (MFT) technologies, says its MassTransit 6.0 solution adds more than a dozen features to the product to improve management and reporting, ease-of-use, and integration for key business and IT processes within the enterprise.
MassTransit 6.0 also delivers enhanced performance and security features to further solidify its position as the standard for MFT technology.
“Companies are realizing that they cannot tolerate unmanaged, unsecured, and inefficient file transfer processes anymore,” says L. Frank Kenney, research director with Stamford, Conn.-based Gartner. “Managing the movement of valuable, data-intensive assets is a strategic business imperative, and companies will look to comprehensive managed file transfer solutions that bring management, security, efficiency and auditing.”
Using the product’s automated, Active Directory (AD)-based user provisioning capabilities, administrators can quickly and easily configure a Web site through which any AD-based user can access to send files to anyone in the organization. To send files, users simply browse to the MassTransit Web site log-in with their domain credentials—or bypass log-in through Single Sign-On (SSO).
Recipients of files receive emails they can simply click to access and download files. Because credentials and file exchange privileges are automatically managed by AD on an ongoing basis, customers are ensured that file transfers adhere to corporate governance policies and the IT support burden is minimized.
Additional features new to MassTransit 6.0 include:
• New reporting and analytics tools to gain business insight to system performance, usage, load, and errors; as well as view and measure expectations on volume, performance, and trends;
• Performance and health monitoring interfaces that allow IT personnel to reduce downtime and deliver on expectations by managing MassTransit with common enterprise solutions, including Microsoft Operations Manager;
• An updated set of APIs and integration tools including SOAP/Web services interfaces with documentation; and
• Enhanced performance and scalability—particularly for customers with thousands of users and file transfer volumes of millions per month
