be used to send secure and reliable messages to public health
entities across the US that have CDC's PHIN Messaging System.

the public Internet.
How is SureDeliver different from File Transfer Protocol (FTP)?
FTP is a file transfer protocol that can be used for sending/receiving
files. However it does not provide security (e.g., encryption
and two-way authentication) or reliability (e.g., once and
only once delivery) features. Also, FTP is primarily intended
for manual uploads/downloads of data. SureDeliver
is intended for automated, encrypted, authenticated, and
reliable file transfers.
How is SureDeliver different from Email?
Email provides an easy method for transfering files or data,
but this mode of file transfers does not provide security
(e.g., encryption and two-way authentication) or reliability
(e.g., once and only once delivery) features. Also, Email
is intended for manual sending of data. SureDeliver
is intended for automated, encrypted, authenticated, and
reliable file transfers.
How is SureDeliver different from Virtual Private Network (VPN) solutions?
VPN solutions are typically used to provide encrypted channels
over public networks for the purpose of supporting user
sessions over such channels. VPN solutions are typically
not geared towards automated B2B file transfers across public
networks. In addition to providing high degree of security
for data exchanges (above and beyond what is normally provided with a VPN connection), SureDeliver provides a rich feature set to automate, route/triage and proactively manage the data exchanges. The out-of-the-box support for several interoperability standards in SureDeliver ensures easy data exchange setup with other products that implement those interoperability standards.
What hardware and software is needed to run SureDeliver?
A server grade machine with minimum 1Gb physical memory can run SureDeliver. We recommend the use of commercial grade Database servers
like Oracle, SQL Server, although SureDeliver supports PostgreSQL and MySQL. SureDeliver runs on Windows, Linux or Solaris. Please
contact us for more information.
Does SureDeliver need to be monitored by someone constantly?
No. SureDeliver
automatically retries and re-schedules message delivery
based on conditions of your network connectivity. It has
extensive alerting and reporting capabilities built-in,
hence it reduces the need for manual inspection. A weekly
review of message inbound or outbound queues is recommended
in case of long lasting or other unrecoverable network connectivity
failures.
Can the SureDeliver system be administered remotely over a network?
Yes, the SureDeliver
system has a web-based user-interface and can be logged
into remotely with the user's password. Additional access
control options are available from ManageSecure
[visit www.ManageSecure.net]

Basic installation, setup and testing of SureDeliver
can be done within 30 minutes. SureDeliver has graphical
support for installation and configuration that makes this
simple. For setting up SureDeliver such that secure messaging
can be conducted over the Internet, firewalls/DMZs need
to be setup, certificates need to be installed etc., which
could take time depending on the organization that is installing
these components.
There are several options for integration of
SureDeliver with applications with varying levels of ease of integration and associated flexibility.
Depending on the requirement for application integration, and the level of coupling between the
application and SureDeliver, integration time will vary.
