Additional MOVEit Automation options

MOVEit

Gateway

Ipswitch Gateway provides a DMZ proxy function that enables deployments of MOVEit Transfer within secured networks (behind the firewall) to meet the advanced compliance requirements often associated with data protection regulations such as HIPAA and PCI-DSS.

  • Meet Enhanced Security Requirements: Ensure compliance with oversight groups such as the SEC, FINRA and FCA and regulations such as GDPR, PCI, HIPAA and FISMA and DPA.
  • Safeguard Sensitive Data: Ensure that file transfer activities are protected behind multiple layers of security minimizing the risk to secured networked resources, sensitive data and authentication services.

MOVEit failover

Failover

MOVEit stores data in the following places: the Windows registry, settings and state files, the Windows Certificate Store and in OpenPGP keyring files as well as either Microsoft SQL Server or the built‐in MySQL statistics database.

Ipswitch Failover automatically replicates its settings (e.g., Tasks, Hosts, Task Groups, Debug Settings), state information (e.g., new file timestamps), OpenPGP keyrings, certificates and keys, custom scripts and statistics from the Primary to the Secondary. Registry entries and file cache entries are not replicated; there are only a handful of “installation‐time” registry settings (e.g., the product license key), and the file cache is unique to each system that hosts the Primary and Secondary nodes.
