Compare HULFT IoT vs. IBM Sterling Control Center Monitor

HULFT IoT serves as a robust managed file transfer middleware tailored for IoT devices, effectively safeguarding against data loss in essential scenarios like payment processing, security, and monitoring. While utilizing protocols like MQTT or HTTPS for IoT data gathering demands a learning curve for users, HULFT IoT simplifies the process by requiring only the installation of its software, thus enabling swift data collection. Additionally, with the integration of DataSpider Servista, our enterprise application integration (EAI) tool, users can seamlessly connect multiple applications to the data gathered by HULFT IoT without any coding, as the setup process is entirely based on drag-and-drop functionality. A machine tool manufacturer previously conducted on-site inspections and maintenance for their customers, during which each device generated operational log data. By analyzing this data, they were able to forecast maintenance needs effectively. To enhance their operational efficiency, the company sought to implement remote monitoring of devices and schedule maintenance personnel as needed. However, the challenge arose with each device producing approximately 10GB of log data daily, complicating their data management efforts further. To address this, they recognized the necessity of a streamlined solution that could handle such vast amounts of data efficiently.

Shift away from a reactive fire-fighting approach and instead take proactive steps to tackle issues while confidently meeting your SLA commitments. The IBM® Sterling Control Center Monitor efficiently oversees critical events in your B2B and managed file transfer (MFT) environment, enhancing operations, customer satisfaction, and B2B governance. It implements specific rules to notify relevant stakeholders whenever a server, process, or transfer encounters a problem. Dashboards designed for various user types provide actionable insights. You can monitor file transfers and B2B procedures while ensuring server views are aligned with operational logic. This system allows for the identification of schedules, processes, file names, user roles, and security features, all of which contribute to comprehensive oversight. It also enables continuous control monitoring and detailed audit reporting, ensuring everything is within compliance. Furthermore, it consolidates event data from all B2B and MFT systems into a unified view, streamlining management and enhancing decision-making capabilities.
