🔄 Relay Gateway Architecture

The only migration tool that works
without touching production servers.

Most tools require SSH access, credential sharing, or agent installation on production servers. SyncDataGuard's relay gateway is different — it sits between source and target, pulling and pushing data without any direct server-to-server connection.

✓ No SSH keys or passwords on production servers
✓ Works through firewalls — only one port needed per server
✓ Supports air-gapped and security-restricted environments
✓ 9 source-target combinations: SSH, Agent, or Local — any mix

Why SyncData Guard?

Services stay up.
Data moves.

Traditional migration requires direct server-to-server access, SSH keys, or expensive vendor agents. SyncDataGuard uses a relay gateway — it pulls data from the source and pushes to the target, so production servers are never directly exposed. Services stay up. Data moves safely.

Core features

Every tool you need for
near-zero downtime migration.

From launch to verification — one solution handles it all.

⚡

Parallel chunk transfer

Split large folders into N chunks and transfer with up to 16 simultaneous streams.

Enterprise: up to 16 streams
📊

Real-time monitoring

Live WebSocket dashboard shows per-folder progress, speed, ETA, and error logs.

All plans
🎛

Bandwidth control

Precise bandwidth limits keep production services online throughout migration.

Zero disruption
📑

Verify and cut over instantly

The moment migration completes, file counts and checksums are verified automatically. That moment is your cutover. No downtime required. — minimizing switchover time.

Instant cutover decision
📅

Automation & Data Replication

Automate recurring sync with daily, weekly, monthly, or Cron schedules. Replicate critical data to remote servers for schedule-based DR and business continuity. (Batch sync · Pro or higher)

Pro · Enterprise
⏸

Pause & resume / Error tracking

Stop anytime and resume from where you left off. Completed folders are skipped. All errors logged per file and downloadable.

Full control
🔬

MD5 Precision Verification — DB Index Accelerated

After migration, every file's MD5 checksum is compared between source and target. A built-in DB index stores checksums from previous runs — so re-verification is near-instant, with no re-scanning needed. Missing files and mismatches are reported immediately.

Agent Mode — No SSH Required

Install a lightweight agent on the source server. SyncData Guard migrates via rsync daemon — no SSH keys, no passwords exposed. Ideal for security-sensitive environments and air-gapped networks.

Enterprise · Zero credential exposure
Architecture

Any environment.
Any combination.

SyncDataGuard supports 9 source-target combinations. The relay gateway handles all traffic — no direct server-to-server connection ever required. SSH, Agent, or Local — any combination works.
