TDCloud: Enterprise Managed File Transfer as SaaS

TDCloud is bTrade's SaaS Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution, bringing bTrade's award-winning secure MFT technology to a cloud subscription model without requiring customers to deploy or maintain the underlying MFT infrastructure. Built on TDXchange, TDCloud provides enterprise file transfer, security, automation, governance, and operational visibility while allowing customers to retain control of their users, trading partners, workflows, policies, and business processes.

With TDCloud, bTrade operates and maintains the SaaS platform infrastructure while customers manage their MFT environment, including workflows, users, trading partners, integrations, and business policies. Organizations that want bTrade to also assist with day-to-day MFT operations can add bTrade Managed MFT Services.

TDCloud separates infrastructure management from MFT administration. bTrade operates and maintains the SaaS platform, while customers can continue to administer their own users, partners, workflows, integrations, policies, and file transfer operations.

Organizations that prefer additional operational assistance can separately use bTrade Managed MFT Services for monitoring, partner onboarding, incident response, administration, reporting, and other day to day MFT activities.

Shared, Dedicated, and Private-Cloud MFT Deployment Options

TDCloud supports flexible deployment models ranging from a shared, multi-tenant service to a dedicated customer instance or customer-controlled private-cloud environment.

In the shared TDCloud model, multiple customers use a common application environment while TDXchange’s native multi-tenant architecture securely separates each customer’s users, configurations, workflows, trading partners, access controls, audit records, and operational activity. This model provides the efficiency and scalability of a shared cloud service while maintaining logical separation, centralized security, and customer-specific governance.

Organizations requiring greater application or infrastructure isolation can deploy TDCloud as a dedicated customer instance. This provides an isolated Managed File Transfer environment aligned with the organization’s security, governance, performance, data-residency, networking, and compliance requirements.

TDCloud can be hosted in the bTrade-managed cloud or deployed within a customer-controlled AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, or approved private-cloud environment. Hybrid deployments can securely connect cloud-hosted services with on-premises applications, storage, users, and trading partners.

The selected deployment model can be aligned with customer requirements for application and network isolation, identity integration, encryption, monitoring, maintenance, private connectivity, data residency, operational responsibility, and regulatory oversight.

Moving Existing File Transfer Operations to the Cloud

TDCloud provides a SaaS path for organizations moving file transfer operations away from infrastructure they operate themselves. Hybrid connectivity allows cloud hosted file exchange services to continue working with applications, storage, and trading partners that remain outside the cloud environment.

Migration planning should account for existing workflows, partner connections, identities, certificates, schedules, security policies, and downstream application dependencies. Workloads can be organized into phases, with connectivity and business processing validated before each production cutover. bTrade can assist through its MFT Migration Service.

The right deployment model depends on how your organization wants to operate:

• TDXchange: Deploy the platform within your own on premises, cloud, or hybrid architecture when your team wants to operate the environment.
• TDCloud: Use a SaaS model in which bTrade operates and maintains the underlying platform. Hosting and operational responsibilities are defined for the selected deployment.
• Additional operational assistance: Add Managed MFT Services when your team also needs help administering workflows, users, trading partners, monitoring, and daily MFT operations.

Multitenant Architecture with Dedicated Customer Deployment Options

TDCloud is powered by TDXchange, which provides native multitenancy within the application. This architecture enables organizations to securely separate business units, departments, subsidiaries, customers, and trading partner communities while maintaining centralized administration, security, governance, and operational visibility.

Organizations with stricter security, isolation, performance, or compliance requirements can also deploy TDCloud as a dedicated customer instance. This provides an isolated Managed File Transfer environment for a single organization while preserving TDXchange’s application-level multitenancy for securely managing separate internal teams, business units, customers, or partner communities.

Each dedicated deployment can maintain customer-specific configurations, access controls, workflows, audit records, integrations, encryption, security policies, and operational settings without sharing the application environment with other customers.

TDCloud can be deployed in the bTrade-managed cloud, the customer’s AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud environment, or another approved infrastructure environment. This flexibility allows organizations to align hosting, network isolation, data residency, identity integration, encryption, monitoring, maintenance, scalability, and operational control with their internal security and governance requirements.
