Storing data in the cloud becomes an integral part of most modern IT landscapes. With Universal Automation Center you can securely automate your AWS, Azure or any other Cloud File Transfer and integrate them into your existing scheduling flows.

As security is one of the blob concerns, when moving to the cloud, the provided solution supports multi-level of security:

  • All Credential for Azure Blob Storage are stored in an encrypted form in the database
  • Connections towards the Azure Blob Storage via a Proxy Server are supported

Some details about the universal tasks for Azure Blob Storage:
