Alliance FTP Manager - Securing Data in Motion
Alliance FTP Manager automates the tasks involved with exchanging database files, IFS files, and spool files between your System i and all other platforms. View our Secure Managed File Transfer on the IBM i webinar to learn how easy it is to encrypt and securely transmit files with your trading partners.
Secure FTP on the IBM i (AS/400)
Automatically transfer files using Secure Shell sFTP or secure SSL FTP to banks, insurance companies, benefits providers, payment networks, and any other internal or external server. Transfers are encrypted to meet compliance regulations such as PCI DSS, HIPAA/HITECH, and privacy notification laws. Audit trails and system logs provide the permanent history needed for compliance regulations. A full set of commands, APIs, and automation features are available for maximum flexibility in your managed FTP environment.
Create encrypted and un-encrypted PDF documents
Users create their own content, and then use the automation facilities to distribute the PDFs via email, FTP, and other distribution methods. The encrypted PDF file is compatible with any PDF reader that supports the AES encryption standard for PDF.
Create and protect Zip files on the IBM i
Data encrypted on the IBM i platform can be uncompressed and decrypted on Windows, Mac, Linux and Smart Phones such as Blackberry and others. Files encrypted on PCs using the WinZip AES standard can be unzipped and decrypted on the IBM i.
Trading partner compatibility
Works with a wide variety of banks, insurance companies, medical claims services and EDI networks. The list includes: Bank of America, Wachovia, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Merrill Lynch, Fidelity, Visa , American Express and others.
Managed File Transfer with Integrated PGP encryption
PGP Command Line 9 as an option for secure encrypted file transfers. Fully supports Additional Decryption Keys (ADK), PGP implementations that support ADK provide a means of recovering data you send to your trading partners, and provide an auditable proof of the data content.
Meet compliance standards in PCI, HIPAA, HITECH and others
Protecting data in motion is a core requirement for all data protection regulations. Alliance Secure Shell SSH sFTP and encrypted SSL FTP meet the data protection requirements of these regulations and use the NIST recommended encryption levels for transferring data. In addition to protecting data in motion with strong encryption, Alliance FTP Manager for IBM I creates a permanent audit trail of transfer activity.
Automated FTP on the IBM i
Alliance FTP Manager provides several automation functions to help you exchange files without human intervention. Automatically retrieve files from remote server with delete and rename The Directory Scan function provides the same automation for files in IBM i IFS directories. Encrypt and transfer any file in an IFS directory, and automatically archive it.
