Success in today’s business world often requires transferring large volumes of business-critical information throughout the enterprise as well as to partners and customers.This information may need to be gathered from one system and transported to many others or it may need to be gathered from multiple systems and then sent to one single platform.This issue is further compounded by the distributed nature of today’s IT infra-structure,which often consists of a mixture of different computers,running different operating systems,connected via different communications links.With the added complexity of an ever-increasing number of users, often separated by thousands of miles,the ability to quickly and efficiently transfer data from one location to another becomes an increasingly difficult problem to solve. Data Transport Option Delivers. The CA-MLINK/ACM Data Transport Option provides fast,reliable, and efficient transport of all kinds of data across a wide set of platforms, protocols,and data formats.It does this flexibly in a way that insulates all users from knowledge of topology, protocols, hops,connections, or networking.

• Transfer data across a wide variety of platforms and transport protocols.

• Create logical groupings of machines in the network and then transfer data to all machines in a group by a single action.

• Control the quality of delivery service. Transfers can be guaranteed or subject to a specified time-out.

• Optionally process data before sending or receiving, using custom filters.These can be used to compress or encrypt the data.

• Optimize network performance by restricting parcel size, throttling parcel sends,and enabling concurrent processing.

• Leverage the capabilities of Data Transport’s Auto Discovery process to determine which machines in your network are available to send and receive data transfers.

• Create customized transfer routes through the Data Transport network.

• Create scheduled transfers based on calendar specifications.
