Scality ARTESCA vs. TIBCO Managed File Transfer

The team in charge of implementing Scality has to be full stack in order to guarantee the correct functioning of the entire system. However, you have to think very carefully about the balance between servers and disks, perhaps adopting smaller fully populated servers instead of large semi-populated servers, which would mean that over time our disk updates will not have a fully useful life.

Tibco Managed File transfer helped the organization resolve the challenge of transferring the files from stakeholders to the internal organization, securely. This includes data from financial, healthcare, insurance, retail, and travel organizations. Tibco MFT helped to set up a secure file transfer protocol in an encrypted manner which can make it possible over FTP, SFTP, and TCP Protocols. A very advantageous product when comes to secure data transfer. When it comes to big organizations, data and security are the major concerns and MFT can fulfill implement both the requirements effectively and efficiently.

As an organization, it took us a while to understand the shift from a traditional black box SAN to software-defined storage, but now we are much more certain of what this means. The time invested and the resources were not very high, thanks on the one hand to the technical support and on the other to the coherence and good development of the platform.

Due to the nature of our business we require extensive encryption and availability for sensitive customer data. The erasure encoding that Scality provides gives us the assurance that documents are rest are never in a state of being downloaded or available to a casual data thief. This is something that can be found with other vendors but at a fraction of the same cost. Having this kind of performance, availability and redundancy at the cost that Scality provides has made a large difference to our organization.
