Introduction

SkySync DryvIQ is an Enterprise Content and Data Integration platform capable of managing file/data transfer and synchronize operations across a myriad of different storage management platforms at scale. It offers significant business flexibility around all aspects of Enterprise Content and Data Integration including:

  • Large-scale file migration

  • Enterprise file analysis

  • Classification, compliance, and actions/outcome management

  • Multi-system hybrid/sync


...

Solution Architecture

The SkySync DryvIQ platform is built on a pluggable, content–streaming architecture that enables highly–automated file/data transfer and synchronization capabilities for up to billions of files. File bytes stream in from one connection endpoint (defined by the administrator), across a customer owned and operated network and/or cloud service, and then stream out to a second connection endpoint. Content can also flow bidirectionally across two endpoints rather than solely from a "source" to a "destination."

SkySync DryvIQ is a "security–neutral" model, fully utilizing your existing infrastructure and security schema. Content and data bytes only exist in SkySync DryvIQ memory in chunks, which are immediately streamed from one endpoint (through SkySyncDryvIQ) and out to another endpoint. Both incoming and outgoing bytes are transferred using the most secure protocol available for each connector. For example, SkySync DryvIQ will use SSL or TLS encryption along with OAuth (token–based) authorization for most cloud service connectors.

DryvIQ Platform Components

...

DryvIQ Server

The server component of SkySync DryvIQ runs as a background service on at least one server. The SkySync DryvIQ service can also be deployed on multiple server nodes in a cluster.

Database Server

SkySync utilizes DryvIQ  utilizes an embedded PostgreSQL database as part of its standard installation process. Additional options include Microsoft SQL Server or hosted PostgreSQL. SkySync  DryvIQ requires network connectivity with the database to function properly in all cases.

...

DryvIQ  Connectors

SkySyncDryvIQ's Platform Connectors provide storage endpoint integration. Each storage connector has been carefully developed to implement all of the available security features via its native API. The connectors themselves can be deployed to execute in the context of the primary SkySync DryvIQ Server or in the context of one or more SkySync DryvIQ Remote Sites depending on the deployment model selected.

SkySync DryvIQ stores connection information such as the authenticated security token, URL, and UNC, and in some cases such as network file–shares, the user name and password are encrypted within the database. SkySync DryvIQ Connectors utilize all the default ports based on the platform's required communication protocol.

Foreign Language

SkySync The DryvIQ Platform is a North American Language-based software solution that supports Unicode; however, it is neither localized or internationalized. In order to support our international customer base, we recognize that support for non-English language is required. As such, we have made significant investments in developing a solution that accepts and migrates a vast majority of data for most languages. While we continue to make added investments to ensure our solution will enable the migration of non-English language files and folders, it cannot account for all idiosyncrasies/caveats.
