Case Study: Railinc achieves 99.95% availability for mission‑critical file transfers and keeps millions of rail assets moving with Axway SecureTransport

Railinc keeps millions of rail assets rolling 24/7

Railinc, a key provider of information services for the North American rail network, supports hundreds of stakeholders with real-time location data, trip plans, waybills and customs documents. The company needed to keep mission‑critical B2B messaging and managed file transfers (about 450,000 transfers per day with ~800 trading partners) continuously available and scalable as volumes and security requirements (e.g., FIPS) grew.

Railinc implemented Axway SecureTransport, an enterprise MFT platform that delivers centralized, secure, and manageable file transfer services. The solution has sustained 99.95% availability, reliably processes roughly 450,000 customer transfers per day (supporting operations for over 2 million rail assets), and is being migrated to an AWS private cloud to ensure long‑term scalability and improved operational intelligence.
