The Signiant Managed Transfer Agent includes the following bundled functionality and operates on a single server:
  • Manager performs all administration, control and reporting of all system activity as well as orchestrating the execution of jobs (e.g. files move, notification). Users interact with the Manager through a Web-based
    administration interface for configuring the system, setting up jobs and automated tasks, managing current system activity and reporting on system activity.
  • Media Agents are responsible for execution of jobs including file movement and notifications.
  • MediaDropBox - transfers data between a single source location and destination location. It monitors the specified location and sends any changes detected in the source location to the specified destination locations.
  • Relay Agents (optional) for firewall transversal and isolation of content from external network. Content is not stored on Relay Agents—only used to route packages through firewall.
