Progress MOVEit Transfer with High Availability - License - 1 Server

Discover a robust, enterprise-grade secure file transfer solution designed to keep critical data moving reliably, even in the face of hardware or network disruptions. Progress MOVEit Transfer with High Availability delivers a resilient, scalable platform that protects sensitive information while streamlining data workflows across your organization. This license covers a single server installation on a PC or server host, providing peace of mind with built-in failover capabilities and centralized management for your team. Whether you’re moving large datasets, collaborating with partners, or meeting stringent compliance requirements, MOVEit Transfer with High Availability is built to safeguard your transfers and maximize uptime.

• High Availability for uninterrupted data transfers: This edition includes a proven failover mechanism designed to minimize downtime and ensure business continuity. In the event of a server failure, a standby node can assume control, preserving active transfer workflows and preserving access for users and partners. With one server license, you gain enterprise-grade reliability without compromising performance, making it ideal for mission-critical environments where every minute counts.
• Enterprise-grade security and governance: MOVEit Transfer supports secure, auditable file exchange with robust encryption in transit and at rest, granular role-based access controls, and detailed activity logging. This helps you meet internal security policies and external regulatory expectations while maintaining visibility into who accessed what and when. The High Availability configuration adds an additional layer of resilience to your security posture by reducing exposure to single points of failure.
• Flexible deployment and licensing for a single server: The license is designed for a single server deployment, making it straightforward to acquire, install, and manage. It’s suitable for on-premises PC or server environments where you want tight control over your data channel, storage, and network topology. The PC-centric installation model ensures you can deploy MOVEit Transfer within your existing IT footprint without the need for complex multi-server licensing upfront.
• Centralized management, automation, and policy-driven transfers: MOVEit Transfer brings centralized control to your file transfer workflows. Create and enforce transfer policies, automate repetitive tasks, and monitor activity across users, groups, and endpoints. The High Availability setup complements this by delivering consistent availability for automated jobs, ensuring your scheduled transfers don’t miss deadlines due to infrastructure outages.
• Scalability and integration to fit growing needs: As your file transfer needs expand, MOVEit Transfer scales to support more users, larger volumes, and diverse endpoints. Seamless integration with existing IT ecosystems, directory services, and APIs enables you to extend secure file transfer capabilities across departments, partners, and customers. The single-server license remains a solid foundation that can be upgraded or expanded as your organization evolves, while High Availability safeguards performance and reliability during growth.
