Skyvia Agent Application to Easily Connect to On-Premise Data
Despite constantly growing share of cloud solutions on the market, many businesses still have on-premise databases and solutions. With the adoption of cloud technologies, they need to have united ecosystem of their cloud and on-premise data.
Integration of cloud and on-premise data usually bring the following challenges:
- On-premise database server is usually behind a restrictive firewall, which needs to be configured to allow access.
- A database server may even not have access to the Internet directly or a dedicated IP, so port forwarding needs to be configured.
Skyvia's Solution
While retaining the possibility to connect to databases directly from the Internet, Skyvia also offers a much simpler way to connect to on-premise servers with little to no configuration. It offers an Agent application – a secure tunnel to load data between databases and Skyvia.
No Configuration Required
Just install the application and download the key – and connect immediately. No need to use port forwarding and server's firewall configuration.
Security
No direct access from the Internet to your database server needed. Data is loaded securely encrypted by Agent, using its unique encryption key.
Performance
Agent protocol is better optimized for data access over the large distances - it requires fewer roundtrips, ensuring higher performance.
Advanced Access Control
If you are worried that your local network resources can be freely accessed from outside of the network via Agent, you may add a configuration file with allowed connections and their aliases. This improves the security in two ways:
- The agent is restricted to only the listed connections. It won't connect to anything else.
- All the connection credentials are stored only in this configuration file and are never sent outside. You specify only the alias on Skyvia.
