Progress MOVEit Secure Folder Sharing with High Availability - Upgrade License - 1 License

Upgrade your MOVEit deployment with a purpose-built High Availability license designed for Secure Folder Sharing. This upgrade unlocks enterprise-grade reliability, seamless collaboration, and uncompromised security across distributed teams and partner networks. With High Availability, you gain automatic failover, reduced downtime, and resilient access to critical folders and shared workspaces, ensuring business continuity even in the face of hardware or network disruptions. The Upgrade License for 1 license is engineered for organizations that demand consistent performance, encrypted file sharing, and centralized policy governance without sacrificing scalability or security controls.

• Enhanced security and compliance: MoveIt’s Secure Folder Sharing leverages robust encryption, role-based access controls, and auditable activity logs. This upgrade reinforces data protection in transit and at rest, helping teams meet regulatory requirements while maintaining tight control over who can access sensitive files.
• Industry-leading High Availability: Built-in redundancy and automatic failover minimize downtime. In a failed node scenario, transfers and folder access seamlessly continue from standby nodes, preserving productivity and reducing service interruptions for users across locations and time zones.
• Streamlined upgrade path: The Upgrade License is designed to integrate with existing MOVEit deployments, enabling a smooth transition to High Availability features. This helps administrators scale their secure folder sharing capabilities without reinventing configurations or workflows.
• Scalable collaboration for teams and partners: Secure folder sharing supports large teams, external collaborators, and controlled access to shared directories. Central policy management ensures consistent permissions, provenance, and compliance across the enterprise ecosystem.
• Reliability, governance, and reporting: Comprehensive audit trails, tamper-evident logging, and reliable backup and recovery options provide accountability and governance. Organizations can demonstrate compliance while sustaining efficient, traceable file-sharing operations.

How to install Progress MOVEit Secure Folder Sharing with High Availability - Upgrade License - 1 License

Follow these best-practice steps to implement the upgrade and realize the benefits of High Availability for MOVEit Secure Folder Sharing. The process focuses on preserving data integrity, minimizing downtime, and ensuring a smooth operational transition.

• 1. Verify eligibility and prerequisites: confirm you hold a valid upgrade license for 1 license and that your current MOVEit environment supports High Availability integration. Review current version compatibility and backup policies before proceeding.
• 2. Prepare the environment: validate a redundant cluster setup or ready a plan for adding a failover node. Ensure shared storage, network connectivity, load balancing, and DNS entries are configured to support seamless failover scenarios.
• 3. Back up configurations and data: export existing MOVEit configurations, licenses, and crucial data. Establish a rollback plan to restore the prior state if needed during the upgrade process.
• 4. Apply the upgrade license: import the upgrade key into the MOVEit management console and verify license status. Confirm that High Availability features are enabled for the target deployment.
• 5. Deploy High Availability components: add or configure the secondary (or additional) node, enable clustering features, and verify health checks across all participating nodes.
• 6. Enable secure folder sharing in the HA environment: ensure policy synchronization, access controls, and folder permissions propagate correctly across nodes and during failover tests.
• 7. Test failover and recovery: simulate node failure to confirm automatic failover, minimal disruption to active transfers, and continuity of folder access for users and partners.
• 8. Monitor, refine, and document: set up system alerts for HA health, review activity logs, and tune performance to balance throughput with security requirements.
