Why FileFlux?¶
The Problem¶
Mid-market enterprises (500–5,000 employees) need to exchange files reliably between servers, partners, and departments. Current options are:
- Stonebranch / IBM Sterling — Enterprise-grade but €100K+/year, months to deploy
- GoAnywhere MFT — Mid-market leader but Java-heavy, €15K+/year
- MOVEit — Suffered major security breach in 2023, trust eroded
- DIY scripts — Fragile, no audit trail, no monitoring, compliance nightmare
The FileFlux Difference¶
Self-Hosted & Sovereign¶
Your data stays on your infrastructure. No cloud dependency, no vendor lock-in. Deploy on bare metal, VMs, or Kubernetes.
Modern Architecture¶
Built with Go (backend + agent) and Lit Web Components (frontend). No JVM, no .NET runtime, no heavyweight dependencies. The agent binary is ~15 MB.
Simple Pricing¶
Per-agent licensing with unlimited transfers. No per-GB fees, no hidden costs. Start small, scale as needed.
Enterprise-Ready¶
- GDPR compliant by design (self-hosted, audit trail, data sovereignty)
- ISO 27001 aligned security controls
- SOC 2 compatible audit logging
- NIS2 / DORA ready for regulated industries
Developer-Friendly¶
- RESTful API for automation
- WebSocket protocol for real-time agent communication
- Docker-first deployment
- Comprehensive documentation
