SFTPGo Enterprise for AKS - SFTP, HTTP/S, FTP/S to Azure Blob Storage
by SFTPGo Authors
Enterprise SFTP/FTP/MFT for Azure Blob & AKS. High Availability, Web Client & Automation.
SFTPGo is a fully featured Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution that abstracts storage backends, allowing secure access to files via standard SFTP, FTPS, and WebDAV protocols, as well as a built-in HTTPS WebClient.
This offer provides the SFTPGo Enterprise Container Edition, specifically engineered for High Availability (HA) and resilient infrastructure. Unlike traditional single-server deployments, this edition is designed for organizations deploying in scalable, clustered environments (AKS).
Cluster-Ready Features & Scalability
The Container Edition unlocks capabilities specifically designed for cloud-native operations:
- High Availability & Clustering: Native support for Active-Active clustering to eliminate single points of failure.
- Horizontal Scalability: Architecture designed to scale linearly with your workload. Each pod is optimized to support up to 50 concurrent uploads/downloads. Need more capacity? Simply scale out by adding more pods to your cluster.
- Enterprise Integration: Includes plugins for event publishing to Azure Service Bus, RabbitMQ, NATS, Kafka, and other pub/sub platforms.
Note: For deployments requiring massive single-node density or unlimited concurrency per pod, please contact us for a Private Offer regarding our Ultimate Edition.
Core Capabilities
Multi-Protocol & Cloud Storage
Leverage local and cloud storage backends transparently. You can use the same tools and processes to exchange files stored on:
- Protocols: SFTP, FTPS, HTTPS, WebDAV.
- Storage Backends: Local filesystem, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud Storage, Amazon S3 (and compatible), and other SFTP/FTP servers.
- Virtual Folders: Map different storage backends to a single user path, allowing transparent access to hybrid cloud storage.
Advanced Security & Access Control
- Encryption: Full PGP encryption/decryption support and Data-at-rest encryption options.
- Authentication: Multi-factor authentication (MFA) compatible with Microsoft/Google Authenticator and Authy. Support for Public Key, Password, and Certificate authentication.
- Access Rules: Geo-IP filtering, per-user/per-directory IP filters, disk quotas, bandwidth throttling, and per-protocol rate limiting.
- Brute Force Protection: Built-in safeguards against attacks.
Identity & Automation
- SSO & Provisioning: Automated user and admin provisioning via OpenID Connect (OIDC).
- Event-Driven Workflows: Execute custom actions (HTTP/S notifications, emails) based on server events (upload, download, delete) or schedules using the EventManager.
- Groups & Virtual Permissions: Simplify administration by assigning settings and virtual permissions to groups rather than individual users.
User Experience
- WebAdmin UI: Easily create and manage users, folders, groups, and resources. Includes real-time monitoring of active connections.
- WebClient UI: Allows end-users to browse files, change credentials, and manage MFA directly in the browser.
- Secure Sharing: Authorized users can create public HTTP/S links to share files externally, with options for password protection or email-based authentication, expiration dates, and download limits.
- Branding: Both UIs (Dark/Light themes available) can be customized to match your corporate brand.
Other Notable Features
- Full REST API for external integration.
- Let's Encrypt TLS certificate support.
- Configurable crypto policies (Ciphers, MACs, Key Exchange algorithms).
- Data retention rules to automatically delete or archive old files.
