Dedicated solution for auto file transfer & data sharing
25.06.2020
XChange Cloud streamlines and enhances business, logistical and vessel operations by providing a reliable, easy to manage platform to share important files of any size or type throughout a fleet. The system is purpose designed to meet the more advanced needs for ship efficiency and data transmission over a satcom environment compared to mainstream cloud storage and file transfer systems. Furthermore, XChange Cloud can reduce the chance of administration errors through its automatic synchronisation feature, which is available as standard.
Features
Digital File Sharing: with no size or file-type limits, users can adopt secure digital file sharing into their operations with ease
Flexible File Synchronisation: store and collect data from local systems on board or distribute files to the entire fleet from a centralised location
Best use of bandwidth: optimal file transfer and on the fly compression for optimised syncronisation over satcom
Cost Effective: saves money considerably compared to other bandwidth-heavy file sharing processes
Mirrored Content: all files are mirrored between shore and ship meaning files uploaded on the one side are transmitted and stored on the other side automatically. No files are lost until deleted manually.
Security: shipping companies can be confident in the security of any data shared within the closed-ecosystem, which is segregated from the public Internet and accessible only with approved credentials
Automation: provides the essential tools for automated system communication, enabling digital applications to automatically transmit data to shore and across the fleet
Simple Configuration: straightforwardly access the Cloud application through remote activation without the need for additional hardware or software
Benefits
Simple to use and manage: push files or keep them synchronised between shore and ship
Optimal procedures: no need for individual user license management (unlike with mainstream cloud storage options)
Minimal administrative effort: automatically share files with the entire fleet
No size limitations: distribute huge amounts of files, manuals, videos, etc. without disturbing business communication
Fully automatic: automate file transfers and communication between systems
Exclusive access: decide who can access the Cloud (login and password required), share access only with authorised staff
Transparent: collect status reports of all onboard systems automatically, without manual intervention
Facilitates archiving: build and store a history of transmitted files
