Introducing Arc MFT Unlimited

💥 File Transfer Shouldn't Come with a Surprise Invoice. Introducing Arc MFT Unlimited.

You budgeted for file transfer. Not for a pricing model that charges you every time your business grows.

But that's exactly how most MFT vendors operate. Every new connection, every additional workflow, every scale event — another line item, another conversation with sales, another invoice that looks nothing like the one you signed. Your operations team is just trying to move files securely. Your finance team is trying to figure out why the bill went up again.

There's a better way. And today, we're shipping it. 🚀

The MFT Pricing Problem Nobody Talks About

Here's how the traditional MFT vendor playbook works — and it hasn't changed much since the early 2000s:

• Add a partner → pay more

• Add a workflow → pay more

• Scale your business → definitely pay more

And somewhere buried in that invoice? Capabilities you never asked for, features your team has never opened, and modules designed for a completely different use case than yours.

It's not a pricing model. It's a meter that never stops running.

The teams that feel this most aren't the ones running complex B2B supply chains. It's the teams whose requirement is clear and reasonable: move files securely, reliably, and automatically between systems and partners. Nothing more, nothing less.

These teams have been overpaying for years. Not because they made the wrong decision — but because the market didn't give them a better option.

Until now.

🎉 Introducing Arc MFT Unlimited: Exactly What It Says

CData Arc MFT is a dedicated Managed File Transfer product — purpose-built for teams that need enterprise-grade file transfer without the enterprise pricing complexity.

How Arc MFT Stacks Up Against the Old Way

 ☁️ Deploy It Where Your Infrastructure Lives

Arc MFT runs in the environment that works for your team — not the one that works best for your vendor:

🏢 On-premises — for teams with data residency, compliance, or security requirements that keep data inside your walls

☁️ AWS (Amazon Machine Image) — on-demand, hourly pricing, deploy inside your existing Amazon environment

🔷 Microsoft Azure — on-demand, hourly pricing through the Azure Marketplace

🌐 SaaS — fully managed, no infrastructure overhead, up and running fast

Same product. Same features. No capability trade-offs based on where you deploy.

🔮 What If You Need EDI Later?

Honest answer: you're already on the right foundation.

Arc MFT and the full CData Arc platform share the same architecture. If your business eventually adds EDI requirements — a new trading partner, a retail customer with specific transaction standards, a healthcare integration — you upgrade in place. Your existing MFT workflows keep running exactly as they are. You add capability on top without rebuilding, retraining, or replatforming.

You're not buying a ceiling. You're buying a floor with plenty of room to build up. 🏗️

🏁 Your Files Deserve a Predictable Bill

Enterprise file transfer shouldn't feel like a taxi with a broken meter. You should know what you're paying before the fiscal year starts — not after your operations team onboards three new partners and your vendor sends a "true-up" email.

Arc MFT Unlimited gives you the connectors, the security controls, the processing power, and the visibility your team needs — at a price that doesn't punish you for doing your job well.

Move files. Not goalposts. 🥅
