AWS Storage Gateway

SmartconX's specialized Web Proxy connector offers a streamlined solution for syndicating Khoros data to AWS Storage Gateway. Operating on a pull mechanism, it efficiently retrieves data from Khoros and transfers it seamlessly to the designated AWS Storage Gateway.

The connector is adept at fetching various types of data from the Khoros community, including roles, boards, user information, articles, posts, and comments, utilizing the Khoros Rest API for efficient data extraction.

Security is a paramount concern in data transmission, and the connector addresses this through the implementation of Mutual Transport Layer Security (mTLS) when communicating with the AWS Storage Gateway endpoint. This robust security measure ensures secure authentication and data transmission, enhancing the integrity and confidentiality of the data exchange process. By providing a reliable and protected conduit for transferring Khoros data to the AWS Storage Gateway Server, the connector ensures the safety of sensitive information throughout the syndication process.

Features

  • Flexibility: The mechanism should be flexible enough to extract data from various sources including databases, APIs, files, and web services.
  • Scalability: It should be capable of handling large volumes of data efficiently, scaling as needed to accommodate growing data requirements.
  • Scheduling: Ability to schedule data pulls at specific intervals or times to ensure timely updates and minimize manual intervention.
  • Incremental Updates: Support for incremental data extraction to retrieve only the changed or new data since the last pull, reducing processing time and resource usage.
  • Error Handling: Robust error handling mechanisms to deal with issues such as connection failures, timeouts, or data format inconsistencies gracefully, ensuring data integrity.
  • Authentication and Authorization: Support for various authentication methods (such as API keys, OAuth, or username/password) to access protected data sources securely.
  • Customization: Provision for customization and configuration options to tailor the data pull mechanism according to specific business requirements and use cases.
