Ipswitch, Inc. Announces Family of WS_FTP ServersIpswitch (News - Alert) Continues to Innovate, Meet Customer Demand for Latest in Secure File Transfer Solutions Lexington, MA – October 7, 2008 – Ipswitch File Transfer division, a leading developer of secure and managed file transfer solutions, today announced the latest version of its award-winning WS_FTP Server and the new WS_FTP Server Corporate. With WS_FTP Server 7, customers can take advantage of even greater levels of efficiency, performance, utilization and security while maintaining the overall simplicity of file transfer management – regardless of their size and market status. Today’s IT departments are managing increasingly complex networks and file/data transfer streams in a hostile environment of regulatory compliance, corporate governance, data breaches and class-action lawsuits. Server administrators need to make company data easily available to employees, vendors and customers, while controlling access to information in order to prevent improper access to private company information. “This family of WS_FTP Server 7 solutions is the next step in our technology evolution,” said Kevin Gillis, vice president product management, Ipswitch File Transfer division. “Many of our SMB and Midmarket sized customers initially deployed our basic WS_FTP Server solution. But over time, we’ve seen them migrate to the more robust WS_FTP Server with SSH, and now to our premium WS_FTP Server Corporate. By offering the market a stepped approach to its secure file transfer and data management needs, Ipswitch has raised the bar for the industry. We are enabling businesses to easily upgrade to more secure and more sophisticated solutions without losing the product benefits they’ve already achieved from a trusted provider.” By opting for WS_FTP Server 7, customers are investing in a proven, scalable and compliant suite of secure file transfer solutions that require little training or support. As enterprise needs evolve and security and compliance become even more critical, many customers migrate to WS_FTP Server 7 with SSH. This gives customers 256-bit AES encryption which is the strongest encryption level offered over SSL and SSH protocol in any commercially available solution on the market today. WS_FTP Server 7 maintains a base of features that is unrivaled for security, safe storage, sharing and file transfer. The top-of-the-line WS_FTP Server 7 Corporate contains additional premium capabilities such as FIPS 140-2 validated cryptography, support for LDAP external authentication and support for encrypted transfers over SCP2 protocol. It also includes the WS_FTP Server Web Transfer Module, which makes transferring files second nature by allowing authorized users to securely connect to WS_FTP Server via their browser over HTTP/S in order to share information easily over the web without needing to install desktop file transfer software. WS_FTP Server 7 introduces many new customer-requested security and administrative capabilities, including: • FIPS 140-2 Validated Cryptography: Federal Information Processing Standards approved and validated; • LDAP External Authentication: Support for LDAP authentication with automatic failover; • IP Lockout: Automatically or manually block IP addresses that generate consecutive failed login attempts; and, • Secure Copy (SCP2): Support for file transfers over encrypted SCP2 connections. By offering customers a clear migration strategy to accommodate increasingly complex environments for transfer of files and data, Ipswitch is reaffirming its position as the source for the most advanced secure and managed file transfer solutions in the world. With the Ipswitch file transfer product line, customers are buying from a financially stable company and eliminating the chore of switching products and vendors as their requirements change – two important considerations.
