DataExpress

DataExpress Integrity Non-Stop

An HP NonStop (Tandem) server-based application for secure managed file transfer. Robust solution enabling customers to schedule, route, format and securely transfer business-critical data over both public and private networks. DataExpress links legacy systems with current technology trends while supporting mission-critical transmission needs, including data security, reformatting and data validation services traversing and embracing multiple protocols.
  • Applies common scheduling, tracking and error reporting methodology to the transmission of files taken from various communications or storage sources.
  • Addresses need for special reformatting with data validation, translation, duplicate file detection and basic data mapping
  • Tracks progress of each file through the transfer process.
  • On-screen alarms alert the operator in real time.
  • Notifications dispatched to remote monitoring applications or devices.
  • Transmissions secured by userid and password.
  • DataExpress initiated or remote initiated collection and distribution.
  • Ability to send or receive scheduled and unscheduled transmissions.
