Cloud File Transfer and Integrations

Operate seamlessly across hybrid and multi-cloud environments with MFT services. Secure your cloud file transfers and connect to the web applications you use every day with GoAnywhere for added efficiency and security:

Acceleration

The FileCatalyst Service in GoAnywhere is an integrated service that provides enterprise-grade file acceleration for moving large data quickly from anywhere in the world, even in adverse network conditions.

Files can be transferred at speeds up to 10 times faster (or more) over traditional protocols, such as SFTP, FTPS or HTTP. Plus, those files can be sent even while they are still growing or are being encoded. This service makes it possible to accelerate your data for time-sensitive file transfer workflows. Minimize delays in time-sensitive operations, such as media delivery, backups, and large dataset transfers, while reducing transfer windows and improving SLAs.

It used to take eight hours every month to print and send out our monthly accounting reports from JD Edwards.... With GoAnywhere, we've got it down to less than an hour.

GoAnywhere MFT allowed us to eliminate and reduce the need for custom programming to transfer files and database records between dissimilar database management systems. We found GoAnywhere to be highly intuitive, flexible, and easy to use.
