Infor Adds NTT Data to Equipment Cloud

May 14, 2013 Alex Woodie

Infor has a new partner working on its equipment cloud: NTT Data, a Japanese IT services firm with operations around the globe. The company recently signed on as the third managed service provider (MSP) to host the cloud version of the M3 application tailored specifically to companies in the heavy equipment business.

Infor launched its Equipment Cloud about six months ago to provide customers with another option for running the M3 application. IBM and Velocity Technology Solutions were the original MSPs selected to run the Equipment Cloud.

With the addition of NTT Data, customers have another option for running Infor’s software as a service (SaaS) offering. According to Mike Sarantopoulos, senior vice president of cloud advisory services at NTT DATA, the cloud solution will give customers a combination of infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS).

“In addition, NTT DATA cloud lifecycle services supports the full service continuum for Infor customers, including consulting, migration, and management services,” Sarantopoulos adds.

Infor is particularly eager to recruit Caterpillar dealers to its Equipment Cloud. Infor is the founding member of the Infor CAT Dealer Advisory Council, and has sold M3 to several CAT dealers, including Finning, PON, Bangla Cat, and Zahid Tractor and Heavy Machinery Company.

GoAnywhere from Linoma Software Makes FTP Easier and More Secure

When it comes to your current FTP processes:

        • Are you looking to tighten the security to protect sensitive files from data breach?
        • Would you like to streamline your processes, and thus give your programmers
           more time for other projects?
        • Have you wondered if there's an easier, more cost-effective way to exchange data
           that still keeps HIPAA, PCI DSS, GLBA and SOX compliance auditors happy?

GoAnywhere, Linoma Software's managed file transfer software suite, solves all of these challenges and more. With GoAnywhere, your organization can secure, automate, and encrypt the data transfers with your trading partners, customers, vendors, employees and internal systems. It supports multiple platforms and all popular protocols, including FTP/S, SFTP, HTTP/S, AS2, SCP, and more.

The GoAnywhere managed file transfer suite, with an optional RSA® certified FIPS 140-2 encryption module, is comprised of three products: GoAnywhere Director, GoAnywhere Services and GoAnywhere Gateway.

GoAnywhere Director automates and secures file transfers using a centralized approach with a single point of control. It can connect to almost any system (internal or external) using standard protocols. GoAnywhere Director can also encrypt and compress files using popular Open PGP encryption, GPG, ZIP, GZIP and TAR standards.

GoAnywhere Services is a secure FTP server (and optional web server) that allows trading partners and employees to connect to your system and exchange files in a secure environment. As an on-premise solution, it includes SFTP, FTPS, and FTP servers with extensive management controls and audit log reporting. A secure HTTPS server can also be enabled for performing ad-hoc file transfers through an intuitive browser-based interface or through its Secure Mail module that includes a plugin for Outlook 2010.

GoAnywhere Gateway is both a reverse proxy and forward proxy, providing an additional layer of network security when exchanging data with your trading partners. By placing GoAnywhere Gateway in your DMZ (public network segment), your sensitive data and servers will remain safely protected in your private network. Its enhanced reverse proxy service does not require inbound ports to be opened into your private network which is essential for compliance with PCI DSS and strict security policies. In addition, it can work with GoAnywhere Services for load balancing to help provide increased capacity by sharing the workload among servers.

GoAnywhere can be installed onto IBM System i, IBM System p (AIX), IBM System (Mainframe), Windows, Linux, UNIX, HP-UX, Mac OS and Solaris platforms.
