SEEBURGER's New SEE Link Reduces Risk in System-to-System File Exchange
Endpoint Client for Managed File Transfer Suite Launched at Gartner AADI Summit
LAS VEGAS, Nov. 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Global business integration solution provider SEEBURGER today announced SEEBURGER Secure Link(TM) (SEE Link), an endpoint client for the recently expanded SEEBURGER Managed File Transfer (SEE MFT) suite. Deploying SEE Link on PCs and servers both inside and outside the organization - including offshore manufacturing facilities, business partners, outsourced professional services, and smaller trading partners without B2B/EDI capabilities - ensures secure, reliable, easy-to-manage system-to-system data exchange with industry-first SEEBURGER features that reduce risk as well as administrative overhead.
SEEBURGER unveiled the newest extension to its SEE MFT platform at the 2011 Gartner Application Architecture, Development and Integration Summit in Las Vegas.
Designed to close the security and compliance loopholes of conventional file sharing strategies, SEE Link works in conjunction with the SEE MFT server to automate the exchange of master data, customer lists, payroll information, quarterly financial reports, medical records, supply chain transactions and other structured and non-structured files between systems. Built-in capabilities such as policy enforcement, encryption, data integrity checking, and a centralized audit trail thwart data theft and misdirected files as well as aiding adherence to regulatory and corporate information security requirements.
Critical features available exclusively from SEEBURGER include:
-- Consolidated management and logging of all message types - including
human-to-human, human-to-system, system-to-system, internal, external,
structured, unstructured, and B2B/EDI supply chain transaction messages
- as part of the SEE MFT family and widely adopted SEEBURGER Business
Integration Suite. For the first time in any MFT or B2B solution, all
file transfer activity is merged in a single view to save time, reduce
the total cost of ownership, and provide vital auditability and
centralized reporting to support compliance efforts.
-- Data transformation via a built-in endpoint translation engine, enabling
flexible application-to-application integration at endpoints. With this
capability, transmitted data can be converted to the appropriate ERP or
other format after it has been decrypted and decompressed rather than
requiring the additional overhead of deploying and managing separate
transfer agents that can trigger outside processes.
-- Automated endpoint provisioning and management, including the ability to
dramatically reduce deployment time and expense by pre-populating
individual PCs and servers with configuration information. SEE Link can
also check the heartbeats of thousands of endpoints, detect temporary
outages, delay file transfers until connectivity or outage issues are
resolved, and minimize maintenance by updating endpoints and public keys
remotely.
-- Reliable delivery even over erratic network connections, based on a new
standard peer-to-peer protocol developed by SEEBURGER that transports
files directly from endpoint to endpoint without routing them through
the MFT server. This facilitates data exchange even with remote and
overseas sites, eliminates server-related bottlenecks and scalability
problems, and still provides server-based governance and policy
enforcement via the new Secure Link Management Protocol (SLMP) to
prevent unauthorized file transfers.
SEE Link can handle files of any size, supports most major operating systems, has a very small footprint, and provides an easy-to-use browser-based interface for managing file transfers with no IT experience. It is a core component of the SEE MFT platform, which manages file transfers with full security, visibility, governance and regulatory compliance protections not available with alternative strategies such as FTP, YouSendIt or Dropbox.
SEE MFT automatically handles end-to-end orchestration of data transfers with full governance, business process management, policy enforcement, and data loss prevention (DLP). It provides Managed Integration -- automating managed file transfers between systems, applications and endpoints -- as well as Managed Collaboration to control manually initiated managed file exchange such as email transfers, ad hoc transfers, and human-initiated transfers to systems.
"In today's business environment, enterprises not only need to be sure that the right data gets to the right place at the right time but also must be able to prove it for audit and compliance purposes. For most organizations, this is not only a challenge but a major drain on IT resources," said Rohit Khanna, EVP, Global Strategy and Corporate Development, for SEEBURGER. "As a cornerstone of our managed file transfer suite, SEE Link both secures and streamlines system-to-system file exchange with advanced capabilities that ensure safe data delivery, reduce administrative costs, and maintain a comprehensive record of all activity to mitigate the risk of regulatory and governance violations."
Availability
SEE Link is available immediately in two versions: SEE Link Standard for simple, secure managed file transfers, and SEE Link Plus offering the additional ability to integrate applications, perform mappings, do data conversions, and perform pre- and post-processing tasks. Both run on any PC or server that supports Java 6.
SEE Link and other SEE MFT solutions are available in four different deployment options -- on-premise software, private cloud, public cloud or managed services -- and offer rapid deployment, fast ROI and single-vendor accountability. Current SEEBURGER customers can deploy quickly without installing additional infrastructure or learning a new interface by purchasing an upgrade license key for the SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite.
