Serv-U Gateway is a secure addition to Serv-U MFT Server and Serv-U FTP Server.
It allows you to safely accept incoming connections in the DMZ, and provides deeper
protection for file transfers on secure networks. Gateway plays a similar role to that
of a reverse proxy server. It safely handles traffic that should not be directly passed
from the Internet to secure internal systems. A two-tier deployment involving Serv-U
and Serv-U Gateway satisfies most “managed file transfer” requirements.
- Safely accepts all incoming connections on a hardened server (whether using
FTP, FTPS, SFTP, HTTP or HTTPS) located in the DMZ segment. - Avoids all inbound connections from the DMZ to the secure private network.
- Ensures that no data is stored in the DMZ segment.
- Supports FIPS 140-2 validated cryptography.
-
Supports configuration and file transfer over IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
Benefits:
Security:
No data is ever stored in the DMZ. All incoming connections to the
internal networks are safely accepted without exposing sensitive systems.
Compliance:
Helps meet PCI DSS and other high-security compliance standards.
High Availability:
Supports active-active N+1 horizontal scaling of Serv-U MFT Server.
Load Balancing:
Helps distribute incoming connections to different Serv-U MFT Server instances with the help of network load balancers.
Configuration:
Helps simplify configurations for complex Serv-U deployments.
