# Standalone deployment

**Data Mover Smart (DMS)** operates independently on a single server and handles file transfers between internal systems without relying on additional components.

To ensure secure data exchanges with external systems, a DMZ component can be added to isolate external traffic and protect the internal network.

This setup is ideal for environments that require simple, secure data transfers without centralized management.
