CA-MLINK is the rock solid file transfer technology that powers our ACM and PollView products. Utilizing industry-standard TCP/IP and asynchronous communication protocols, it is the ideal solution to the problem of automated data transport. CA-MLINK provides robust capabilities for reliable, unattended transfer of files between your target systems. It allows any system to initiate data transfer and perform bi-directional, unattended transfers.
The four primary functions of CA-MLINK include:
