Strong demand for MOVEit file transfer product line credited for growth

LEXINGTON, Mass., July 14 -- Ipswitch, Inc.'s File Transfer division, the leading developer of secure and managed file transfer solutions, announced today the expansion of its Madison, Wisconsin-based sales, support and Research & Development operation dedicated to its MOVEit product line. The move to a new 7,400 square foot Ipswitch MOVEit center is due to strong global demand among Fortune 1,000 and small and medium enterprises (SME) customers for Ipswitch's MOVEit file transfer line of products.
