Hi, Erin with ExaVault here. How can your business benefit from SFTP as a service? We’re going to go over and explain several benefits of going with a hosted SFTP service.

While it is possible to set up your own onsite FTP server, there are many advantages of using SFTP as a service. First, the implementation of an SFTP site is easy as there is no hardware required. You don’t need to use your own servers, utilities, or data center infrastructure when you purchase SFTP as a service.

If you were doing this on your own, there would be upfront costs and IT resources needed to provision the hardware, install an operating system, apply all the necessary patches, purchase a domain name and certificates, and to keep everything up to date. SFTP as a service takes care of all of that for you.

Next, from an accessibility standpoint, your team can benefit from SFTP as a service by having a single location to store business files. The mobility of hosted SFTP provides on demand access to your documents and data at any time from any device. No more logging into multiple sites or services to locate documents and share files with clients.

Security is another big consideration. SFTP connections utilize encryption to transfer data securely, but that’s only the beginning. You also need to make sure that your servers themselves are secure. And with ExaVault’s SFTP as a service, you’re backed by a 24/7team of professionals who monitor and maintain the infrastructure.

In hosting your own SFTP server, capacity can quickly become an issue. When you sign up for SFTP as a service, you get built-in flexibility, and you can easily scale capacity as your business grows. For example, ExaVault hosted SFTP includes unlimited users with no additional cost. And it’s easy to upgrade as you need one terabyte of storage or more.

Always-on disaster recovery is another benefit of SFTP as a service. A robust backup and disaster recovery strategy means that your data will always be available and secure. For example, ExaVault’s disaster recovery facility is physically separate from other locations and capable of taking over should that become necessary.

In summary, if you aren’t familiar with SFTP as a service, it is more than just using an SFTP client. The service part of SFTP as a service means — peace of mind in terms of data security and compliance, ease of use when dealing with remote workers and clients, a resource for help with technical issues, and cost savings over hosting your own server.

Thanks for watching!
