- Minimize failed transmissions with automatic retries, recoverable file transfer queues, and real-time event alerts.

Internal intra-server transfers with FileXpress Platform Server.
- Product Highlights
Multiplatform Support
FileXpress Platform Server enables the transfer of files across all major platforms, including Windows, UNIX (AIX, HP-UX, Linux, and Solaris), IBM z/OS, and IBM i.
No File-Size Limits
FileXpress Platform Server is equipped to handle files of any size. The checkpoint restart feature allows a failed file transfer to begin again at the point it dropped off, and data compression capabilities reduce the volume of packets needed to transmit a large file.
Reliable Delivery
With capabilities such as automated retries, exception alerts, and file transfer queuing, FileXpress Platform Server detects problems, notifies senders, and recovers transfers when transmissions fail.
Lights-Out Automation
FileXpress Platform Server can be used to completely automate the process of sending and receiving files. Scheduling and event-driven options provide lights-out automation for all processes—anytime, anywhere. These capabilities, along with its peer-to-peer architecture and post-processing actions enable true end-to-end processing.
Security at Every Stage
Each server on which FileXpress Platform Server is installed becomes a virtual security checkpoint. No file enters or leaves without the server knowing about it and approving the transmission. A full range of encryption and authentication options strengthen data security at every stage in the transfer process.
