XFB.Monitor
The file transfer monitor
Multi-platform, multi-network and multi-protocol Application integration Automation, scheduling and planning Reliability and productivity Security Transfer monitoring and control With XFB.Monitor placed at the heart of your applications, you have a reliable and well performing file transfer management system. As a basic component of the Axway eXtended File Broker (XFB) solution, its many functions make XFB.Monitor a full-featured production tool for the methodical, homogeneous handling of all your transfers.
This set of mechanisms contributes to the complete automation of data circulation and processing, thus guaranteeing optimal response time for specialized applications.
Reliability
The high degree of 0reliability of transfers is the result of the many automatic functions (connection retries, re-launch after interruption, switch to back-up link or monitor, etc.) that guarantee the routing of data. If transfer is totally impossible, various alarm mechanisms are activated.
Technical characteristics
Productivity
The optimum use of network resources, data compression, simultaneous exchange and synchronisation point recovery after interruption, all help to reduce the time and cost of transfers, so ensuring maximum productivity. Store and forward file switching (i.e.: exchanging files using intermediate monitors) enhances network resource optimisation by giving access to partners who are not accessible directly. In this case, application acknowledgements are transmitted end-to-end. The transcoding required to adapt character type data between the different platforms is automated and carried out during transfer. This function frees applications from these considerations and is carried out at least cost, with no supplementary reading of files required.

data access security: the user has no access to the real file system; he can only see and recover files that have been explicitly made available to him possible use of the secure XFB.Gateway to offer access to ordinary Web partners (via HTTP, FTP, Ssh-FTP); designed specifically to be placed in the DMZ, XFB.Gateway integrates with the enterprise security system and so underpins exchange security.
Security
A variety of functions and techniques cover the ever-increasing security requirements as the number of exchanges and partners grows: security of access to the monitor: control of user access to monitor resources network security: caller numbers control, firewall and proxy support ID control of partners SSL/TLS transport level security: simple, reciprocal authentication based on X.509 certificates, integrity and/or confidentiality (seals and/or encryption), certificate management using an external or internal PKI
