Every day, organizations exchange, transfer and store massive volumes of data: purchase orders, contracts, financial documents, sensitive customer data, production or logistics information, etc. These exchanges concern not only the size, but also the frequency, criticality, and confidentiality.
In this context:
Continuity of service is essential: a delay, a failure or a partially corrupted transfer can have financial, legal or reputational impacts.
Volumes are constantly increasing — more devices, more sensors, more data generated. The infrastructure must evolve to support peaks, periods of high activity, etc.
The security of data flows is crucial: encryption, strong authentication, access control, traceability, but also data integrity.
Integration into existing systems is necessary: transfers are not isolated, they are inserted into complex chains.
Management adapted to large volumes
Waarp Transfer was designed to handle a large number of transfers in parallel. Thanks to its Go engine, it can efficiently manage multiple simultaneous streams while maintaining moderate memory and CPU usage.
The system also uses network multiplexing, which optimizes the use of existing connections. This limits repeated session openings and improves the fluidity of exchanges, even during peak activity.
Integrated security mechanisms
Data security is taken into account from the design stage. Communications can be encrypted via TLS 1.2 or 1.3, and authentication relies on certificates, complemented by granular access rights management.
Particular attention is paid to traceability: all operations are logged, time-stamped, and can be verified by cryptographic hashing. These mechanisms make it possible to meet compliance requirements or simplify audits.
Enhanced reliability
Waarp Transfer incorporates several features designed to secure file transmission in case of technical issues. If an interruption occurs, transfers can resume from the point of interruption without requiring a complete retransmission.
Data integrity is verified using control mechanisms to ensure that the received file is identical to the one sent. Additionally, automatic retry rules can be configured to ensure delivery in the event of a temporary outage.
Simplified everyday use
The installation is intentionally lightweight: a standalone binary can work with an integrated SQLite database, or be connected to PostgreSQL, MariaDB or MySQL as needed.
The configuration is readable and clear, using YAML/JSON files, and a REST API allows for the automation of common operations. The generated logs are structured and compatible with standard monitoring tools such as ELK or Grafana.
Certificate management is also supported, with automation options (e.g., via Let's Encrypt), simplifying a task that is often complex for administrators.
Seamless integration into existing environments
Waarp Transfer works equally well under GNU/Linux and Windows, and can adapt to different database engines.
The solution is available in container form, facilitating its use in cloud or Kubernetes environments. The REST API allows for complete control and enables integration with automated processing chains or DevOps practices.
Finally, customizable automation mechanisms allow you to define actions before, after, or in case of transfer failure. Furthermore, compatibility with the R66 protocol and gateways to other protocols (FTP/S, HTTP/S, SFTP, and PESIT via Waarp Gateway) ensures interoperability with third-party systems.
