MOVEit Central is used to pull, process and push files on a scheduled, event-driven or on-demand basis between a wide variety of internally and externally located computers, including MOVEit DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone) A middle ground between an organization's trusted internal network and an untrusted, external network such as the Internet. Also called a "perimeter network," the DMZ is a subnetwork (subnet) that may sit between firewalls or off one leg of a secure file transfer servers. Central does this using easy-to-create tasks (no programming required). Each Central task can move one or more files between multiple source and destination systems using various combinations of popular secure and/or non-secure file transfer standards, and Central can execute multiple tasks simultaneously. Tasks can also process files using built-in Central capabilities, including commercially licensed OpenPGP and S/MIME See MIME. encryption, ZIP/UNZIP, the ability to find/replace character strings and transform XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language.
