XChange Cloud
Your dedicated solution for file transfer and data sharing
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 purposely 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.
The automatic synchronisation feature, available as standard, means that XChange Cloud can help you reduce administration errors as well as offering huge storage capacity and tailored fleet management.
Your benefits
-
Share and synchronise files of any type or size
Secure your digital file sharing with ease. XChange Cloud provides all the storage you need, with no limits on individual file sizes or types. Flexible file synchronisation enables you to store and collect data from local systems on board and distribute huge amounts files to the entire fleet from a centralised location, without disturbing business communication.
-
Save money and automate
XChange Cloud is very cost effective compared to other bandwidth-heavy file sharing processes. The automated system communication enables digital applications to transmit data to shore and across the fleet automatically, with no manual intervention required.
-
Benefit from best use of bandwidth
XChange Cloud’s reliable, easy to manage system compresses files and folders on the fly, speeding up and optimising transmissions for you. Expertly designed to reduce issues of FTP or cloud file sharing applications in a satcom environment, XChange Cloud improves business communication stability by prioritising traffic according to your needs. This minimises the impact on your bandwidth.
-
Reduce administrative effort
Simple to use and manage, XChange Cloud mirrors content between shore and ship, meaning files uploaded on one side are transmitted and stored on the other, automatically. No files are lost until manually deleted and the archive feature allows you to build and store a history of transmitted files.
-
Secure your data
You can be confident in the security of your data within XChange Cloud’s closed ecosystem, which is segregated from the public Internet and accessible only with approved credentials. So, you can decide who can access the Cloud and share access only with authorised personnel.
-
Optimise your procedures
Unlike mainstream cloud storage services, there is no need for individual user license management with XChange Cloud. Status reports from onboard systems can be collected automatically and no extra equipment or applications are required.
