Distributed File Transfer Platform Project for a City Commercial Bank
As the bank's business continues to grow, the volume of data exchange between internal application systems and among staff has increased significantly. Currently, a variety of transmission methods are used—such as email, shared directories, portable drives, EMS, disc burning, and even manual delivery. These approaches are inefficient, lack security and timeliness, and incur high costs in manpower, postage, transportation, and printing.
To address this, the bank needed to build a new file transfer service platform to streamline file handling processes, consolidate fragmented transmission methods, and establish a unified file service platform centered on secure data transmission and processing.
The bank's file transfer activities span a wide range of systems and user groups, including production networks, office networks, and external networks. Transfer scenarios are complex, involving communication between individuals, between systems, and between individuals and systems.
GienTech's Distributed File Transfer Platform was adopted to provide a secure, efficient, and unified transfer channel for both users and systems. The solution ensures ease of use for front-end transfers and high reliability for back-end transmissions.
A centralized transfer management center was established to serve as the backbone of a financial-grade transmission system—handling system-wide configuration, management, monitoring, and security auditing. The platform also includes foundational file processing capabilities such as validation, splitting, merging, encoding, and decoding.
Additionally, integrated monitoring and control functions, combined with a user rights management framework, standardized transmission protocols, reporting capabilities, and proactive alert mechanisms based on transfer monitoring, provide comprehensive security and oversight across the platform.
The construction of the file service platform enabled the bank to fully consolidate various transfer methods and standardize its file handling processes. This standardization allows application systems to focus more on core business logic, enhancing overall system processing efficiency and strengthening IT support for business operations. The platform also promotes agility in financial services and boosts the bank’s overall competitiveness.
