Product Highlights
- Multiplatform Support
FileXpress Platform Server enables the transfer of files across all major platforms, including IBM z/OS, Windows, UNIX (AIX, HP-UX, and Solaris), and Linux.
For a list of supported platforms, see Technical Note 2475.
- No File-Size Limits
FileXpress Platform Server is equipped to handle files of any size. Built-in RocketStream technology, which maximizes the speed and performance of large files over long distances, transfers files up to 30 times faster than traditional FTP.
- Reliable Delivery
With capabilities such as automated retries, packet-level data integrity checks, exception alerts, and file transfer queuing, FileXpress Platform Server detects problems, notifies senders, and recovers transfers when transmissions fail.
- Lights-Out Automation
FileXpress Platform Server can be used to completely automate the process of sending and receiving files. Powerful scheduling and event-driven options provide lights-out automation for all processes—anytime, anywhere. These capabilities, along with its peer-to-peer architecture and post-processing actions enable true end-to-end processing.
- Security at Every Stage
Each server on which FileXpress Platform Server is installed becomes a virtual security checkpoint. No one enters or leaves without the server knowing about it and approving the transmission. A full range of encryption and authentication options strengthen data security at every stage in the transfer process.
