Realising the benefits of FTP consolidation

By IBM | 5/12/2011

Businesses today are experiencing a growing demand to move high volumes of data both internally and externally. Accordingly, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) servers are proliferating among individual departments and raising traffic levels with customers and suppliers. While vital information is flowing, security threats are also increasing dramatically, some of them malicious in the extreme, and the ad hoc nature of internal expansion means that it has become difficult not only to maintain security but to control necessary cost and quality factors.

This white paper explains and explores the opportunity and benefits of FTP consolidation.

Guiding the Cloud Application Decision with the IBM Cloud Transformation Advisor

By IBM | 4/2/2013
