OpenText has announced the availability of the newest version of OpenText Secure MFT, its managed file transfer solution.

Available on-premises or through the OpenText Cloud, the latest release of Secure MFT has a number of new performance and usability features:   

• Performs a file integrity check and guarantees bit-perfect transfers between parties ensuring sent files arrive at their
• Offers single instance storage using file integrity to check for existing files, eliminating the need to upload and store files more than once and resulting in nearly instantaneous transfer.
• Provides high availability (HA) in on-premises, clustered environments for uninterrupted file transfers and continuous access to file transfer data for planned and unplanned outages.
• Supports Mac OSX users, with a desktop client, web client and Dispatch Folders.
• Sends SMS text notifications when a file has been uploaded to OpenText Secure MFT or downloaded by recipients as well as sending administrators a notification of system events such as interruptions in service and low disk storage availability.

When operating alongside OpenText document management solutions such as Content Server, eDOCs or other, Secure MFT allows users to quickly and securely send files, videos, and collections of assets of any file type without size limits.  

“In today’s highly-disparate business world, transferring high volumes of large files between locations using slow file transfers via FTP or HTTP and inefficient network bandwidth can become a major productivity drain,” said Muhi Majzoub, senior vice president of engineering, OpenText. 

 “As both the amount and size of information grows, many organisations overlook the risk associated with the transfer of extremely large files and collections of files. OpenText Secure MFT provides an easy-to-use managed file transfer solution that integrates with Microsoft Outlook to allow users to securely send their largest files through email, without file size limitations, over an encrypted connection.”
