At a glance: Is it time for your
MFT to move to the cloud?
Businesses today have more trading partners, more transactions,
stricter regulations, and a need to respond faster to business
demands. Legacy on-premises managed file transfer (MFT) solutions
alone can’t keep up. They also pose operational challenges, requiring
high-level expertise and expensive maintenance.
The answer? Migrate MFT to a managed cloud service.

Keep up with constantly changing business needs
With cloud-based MFT, you’re not constrained by the hardware in
your data center or forced to make big capital purchases you may
not need or that quickly become outdated.
01 Scale up or down. Adjust your capacity on-the-fly as business
needs change. When demand is high, scale up. During slower
periods, scale down.
02 Know the costs. A subscription model means you pay only for
the services you use, with predicable costs—no unexpected
capital expenditures.
03 Maintain security and compliance. Operate in a secure, compliant
cloud environment managed by experts whose job is to keep up
with the barrage of new cyber threats and regulations.

your ecosystem, taking advantage of resource pools and economies
of scale.
