Axway's presentation focuses on their highly available distributed architecture (HADA), designed to ensure fault-tolerant service and data availability for their MFT gateway product, SecureTransport. The HADA aims to enhance user experience through capabilities like zero downtime, failover/recovery, and scalable data exchange across multiple data centers. Key developments and timelines are outlined, highlighting improvements in support for Kubernetes, multi-cluster capabilities, and centralized tracking for enhanced performance and reliability by 2019.

Axway’s Highly Available Distributed Architecture (HADA) is a multi-tiered
architecture that provides high availability and scalability to underlying
system middleware. Our first commercial delivery of HADA will be optimized
for our MFT gateway product SecureTransport (ST).

Service Availability
Goal is to provide a fault-tolerant,
uninterrupted service, that is least
impacted by system maintenance
schedules (planned), and disaster
recovery management (unplanned)
Data Availability
Ability to data/file replication
across multiple regions/data
centers
User Affinity
Enhance the ability of users /
partners from one location to
publish / consume data across
other locations / regions /
datacenters

• Enterprises have several data centers spanned across the globe
• Failover/Recovery is cumbersome, and not reliable
• Load balancing across data centers is not possible

Key Timelines
11
Q4 2018 – TP
• Updated AWS demo environment
Q1 - TP
• Support for Kubernetes (was
Swarm)
• Support for multiple LDAP
sources (+ SSH keys stored in
LDAP)
• Remove embedded DB from Edge
and Receiver components
Q2 - TP
• Failover improvements (auto
cross-DC failover, graceful ST
services shutdown)
• Centralized tracking (with
external tool e.g. Splunk)
• Performance profiling
Q3 – GA
• Cross-DC ST accounts
synchronization improvements
(based on accounts affinity and
incremental configuration data
updates)
• Support for AS2 protocol
Ready for Early Access/Technical Preview
