Skynax Benefits at the Enterprise Level

Skynax in the Enterprise

As the size, complexity and mission critical nature of mobile business systems continue to increase, organizations are seeking new ways to improve the fault-tolerance of their mobile business system and simplify its management.

Designed as a high performance communications and data processing system, the Skynax Enterprise Edition offers an unprecedented level of fault-tolerance, security, device management and system monitoring functionality. It allows
IT Managers to automate administrative tasks to simplify mobile system management, reduce error and improve response time.

Below we take a closer look at the benefits
offered by the Skynax Enterprise Edition:

Dynamic Load Balancing

Skynax continually monitors the performance of all components of the Skynax system. This information is used in combination with other information such as server processor loads and data processing queues to automatically redirect each mobile business application’s request for data exchange communications, to the Skynax Server which is presently able to provide the fastest response time.

Active Fail Over

Skynax actively monitors the heart-beat of each component of the Skynax system to automatically detect a failed Skynax Server and begin to route all mobile business application requests for data exchange communications to one of the other functional Skynax Servers capable of managing the specific request.

System Maintenance with No Interruption to Operations

Skynax supports the ability to independently shut down and upgrade each software component of Skynax as well as upgrade and repair the underlying computing and networking infrastructure without having to discontinue the operation of Skynax or halt communication services to your mobile workforce.

Centralized Remote Administration

The Skynax Manager provides central control over the distributed mobile communication system, with the functionality to manage the system from a remote location. These are some of the capabilities provided:

• remote setup of mobile device operating parameters

• remote loading and installing of mobile business applications

• mobile device monitoring and control over all communications

Multi-Version Mobile Data Processing

Skynax supports the simultaneous processing of data communications from thousands of handheld computers, each running a different application in a different version and using different device settings, all the while ensuring the integrity of the business data being exchanged with multiple, changing,
back-office application interfaces.

Security and Efficiency

Skynax provides for the automatic compression and encryption of all data transmitted between a mobile device and server computer to minimize bandwidth utilization and provide data security, including:

• centrally managed mobile computer authentication

• centrally managed user authentication

• unattended encryption key administration

• all transmitted data is compressed

• all transmitted data is digitally signed

• all transmitted data is encrypted

Connectivity Control

Skynax supports the central configuration of the types of communication paths which are allowed for each mobile computer based on the type of connection, time of day and the business process for which the connection is being requested. This allows you to optimize the exchange of business data to best meet your business needs.
