SyncML Server

Jataayu's SyncML Server (JSync Server) is a high-performance implementation of the SyncML specification. SyncML is a specification for a common framework of synchronizing data on networked devices.

SyncML is primarily designed for synchronization of mobile devices that are intermittently connected to the network with network services that are continuously available on the network. Data synchronization model that is supported is based on a request/response command structure.

JSync Server supports point-to-point synchronization.

Jataayu's SyncML Client can also be availed by the MSP to offer end-to-end solutions to your customers.

Architecture

Key Features

Compliance	SyncML 1.0.1 for both receive and send operations.
Transports	Supports synchronization over the most popular protocols -
	HTTP
	WAP
	OBEX
	These are the three key transports required by a vast majority of synchronization systems.
Content-types	Supports many content-types and more are getting added. The current list of supported content types are:
	vCard 2.0
	vCalender 1.0
Encoding	Supports use of encoded as well as plain text data. Encoding allows a more compact representation of information and its usage will improve the efficiency of the synchronization process.
Connectivity	Jataayu supports synchronization over several channels including TCP/IP and WAP.
Security	Secure synchronization is made possible with support for MD5 and BASE64 based authentication schemes. This allows applications to restrict access to the synchronization operation and the content to authorized users only.
SyncRules	Provides a powerful option to specify synchronization rules. This enables applications to transparently control the information that reaches specific device types, define priorities, as well as apply specific filters to the content before synchronization.
Synchronization modes	The server supports the following modes of synchronization:
	Slow sync - complete synchronization of peers, starting from an unknown state.
	Two-way sync - fast synchronization based on differences since previous synchronization
	Replication - one-way transfer of data from server to the client or the other way around
Administration	Web based GUI interface to administer and monitor the server. The Web interface facilitates remote administration of the server.
Logging	Logs all synchronization operations and includes information about the application identity, device identity, record counts, volume of data transferred in either direction as well as the status of the operation. This information can be used for accounting or billing purposes. A Diagnostic log is also generated for troubleshooting the system by qualified personnel.
Application interface	Open interface to application developers allowing new applications and content-types to be easily handled. With the interface being accessible over a communication link, the applications and the Sync Server do not need to be on the same system, increasing the flexibility in choosing the best hardware and operating environments for the Sync Server and the applications, thereby ensuring a high degree of scalability.
Implementation	Implemented completely in Java, which ensures a very robust and portable product.
Configurations	The server is available in the following two configurations
	For deployment in conjunction with a Servlet engine - for higher scalability
	For deployment as a stand-alone system - for low TCO
Scalability	Designed from the ground-up to be scalable. This allows maximum utilization of hardware resources to provide the highest levels of service.
Availability	Windows NT, Linux, Solaris and other Unix variants.
