Today the PCI Security Standards Council will announce that its three main publications will switch to a synchronized three year cycle. There will still be a new PCI DSS coming out this October, but the next one will not come out until fall 2013.
This shows that the payment card industry, lately seen as a security leader in the financial space, is generally happy with its efforts to define what an appropriately secured and managed environment ought to be and expects future changes to come more slowly than they have in the past.
Over the weekend support manager Kevan Bard and his operations team successfully upgraded Ipswitch File Transfer’s MOVEit DMZ Hosted Services (that’s MOVEit DMZ software as a service) to version 7.0. There were two highly-available setups one thousand files apart involved in the upgrade, and a significant banking customer on this infrastructure (with just over 500 users and 35GB online) was moved between data centers the same time.
The upgrade/migration of these systems and their thousands of active users was one of Ipswitch’s more complex operating challenges in recent years and was planned, tested, staged and executed with a high degree of success. If your data deserves the white-glove treatment too, rest assured that the right people are in place to support your technology, whether on-premises or in one of our SaaS offerings.
Word of today’s public announcement that Ipswitch has acquired MessageWay Solutions is already starting to spread, and fast. Whether you’re an Ipswitch customer or employee, industry expert, or just learning about the Managed File Transfer space one thing is clear – The MFT industry is evolving and growing worldwide, both in strategic importance and pure volume.
We’ve seen greater emphasis on managing and controlling file processing behind the firewall…. And witnessed customers and prospects describing their need for an MFT solution that includes some B2B and EDI attributes.
Ipswitch’s acquisition of MessageWay creates the industry’s most powerful and complete suite of Managed File Transfer solutions with robust, highly scalable advanced file services that continues where MFT has traditionally left off – at the edge of the network.
