What is SmartSync? When to use it?
SmartSync is a backup option inside SURETE, and its main use is for Remote Data Synchronization.
It is used when there are SURETE set up on both local and remote areas. We create a synchronous connection of data stream
between the matching volumes or folders on the two servers, enabling the synchronization of data on both sides. The benefit is
that SmartSync allows the remote backup of large amount of data stored on SURETE servers, ensuring the security of the data.
What are the needed components of SmartSync?
SmartSync consists of at least two SURETE servers. One is on the client side (synchronizing side), while the other is on the server
side (synchronized side). Of course, a connection between the two server ports is necessary.
Is the server on the synchronized side limited to the use of TCP/IP connection?
Yes. TCP/IP is known for its ability to pass through routers and to remotely connect through Internet, as well as its broad
adoption and convenience. Therefore, we use TCP/IP as the communication protocol to search for the synchronized server.
How many tasks can SmartSync perform at the same time?
Each SURETE can perform 8 tasks simultaneously, including immediate and scheduled ones.
However, we do not recommend running too many tasks at the same time, since running more tasks means more system
resources are required as well as the network bandwidth. This will greatly affect the performance of SURETE and the network.
Why data stream has to be compressed when transferring data?
Normally, when doing the data transfer, the network bandwidth is the bottleneck, not the processing power of the system itself.
By compressing the data stream, the loading on the network bandwidth and the devices is reduced. Therefore compressing data
stream at data transferring will increase the efficiency of SmartSync, especially for the performance of Wide Area Network (WAN).
What needs to be considered when setting up Bandwidth Control? Why?
If we do not control the bandwidth for the data stream when SmartSync is performing its tasks, the synchronous connection may
occupy a lion share of the whole network bandwidth, making the server or network unable to provide other services to the clients
at a good performance, especially those at the remote network area.
Although most enterprises are now using broadband connections, they normally provide various services using these connections.
To prevent SmartSync from occupying too much of the network bandwidth, it is recommended to set up Bandwidth Control during
execution of the tasks. Some parameters to be considered are: 1. the total bandwidth and the distribution of bandwidth that the
enterprise has in its network environment; 2. the frequency of accesses by the clients and the number of clients served by
