Flight Deck allows content exchange with other systems, users and applications. Scalable architecture supports global operations of any size, regardless of geographic location.
Flight Deck
Advanced system-to-system automation for complex networks and workflows

Flight Deck unites the feature-rich functionality of Manager+Agents and the powerful cloud I/O capabilities of Signiant Flight — which together form the core transport backbone for most of the world’s largest media companies. Flight Deck’s cloud-connected features, including visibility from the same Signiant console used by Media Shuttle and Jet, bring the gold standard in advanced automated file movement into the SaaS era.
Manager+Agents customers, it’s time to upgrade to Flight Deck.
Key Components
Centralized Manager
In Flight Deck, just like in Manager+Agents before, the Manager software controls system activity and orchestrates all file transfers between Signiant Agents. The Manager serves as a hub capable of coordinating globe-crossing content transfer between thousands of distributed endpoints.

Distributed Agents
Signiant Agents execute tasks defined by the Manager, including accelerated file movement and interoperability with third-party software and systems. Agents can be deployed as a single node or in a load-balanced group. Agents can also act as relays to connect public and private networks.

Cloud Connection
The Manager’s connection to the cloud-native control plane of Signiant’s SDCX platform provides robust SaaS features, such as Manager backup to cloud storage and enhanced visibility into job history data and software usage, plus an integrated environment for Signiant administration.

Intuitive Interfaces
Flight Deck features can be accessed via two web interfaces. The Manager interface offers visibility into file movement, plus granular control of configuration, task automation, scheduling, and reporting. Flight Deck SaaS capabilities are available through the Signiant Console, the single cross-product web interface for all Signiant SaaS solutions.

Cloud I/O
As its name implies, Flight Deck includes Signiant Flight (previously a stand-alone product often used in conjunction with Manager+Agents). The Flight service provides secure, accelerated movement of large data sets to and from the cloud. Flight offers unattended cloud transfers and enables workflows that encompass multiple storage types and locations. Flight works with all three of the major public cloud platforms (Amazon, Azure, Google).

Rest API
Use the Manager native REST API to automate file transfer jobs, manage users, and control storage settings for your transfer environments. API integrations allow you to initiate jobs from Signiant Media Shuttle, MAM/DAM systems or custom control management systems.

Get Pricing
Flight Deck is available as an annual subscription which includes the use of on-premises Manager, Agent and Flight software, plus all software updates. Signiant takes care of all Flight Deck SaaS components. The base package includes a Manager, multiple Agents, and a generous cloud transfer allowance. Additional Managers, Agents, Peered Agents and cloud payload are easily added as your file movement needs change.
