NETWORK REQUIREMENTS
This section provides information about ports and protocols that must be enabled on firewalls and other related security aspects to ensure safe usage of the solution .
BANDWIDTH AND LATENCY
Bandwidth and latency must be considered for each implementation :
• Latency is important to be kept under 100ms for metadata synchronization in Site Server cluster locations and for user experience on all browser-based terminals ( i . e ., between where the MFD is and its respective Terminal Server ).
• The bandwidth required is vastly dependent on print job data size . Print job metadata traveling among components average around 40 – 60 kB per print job .
NETWORK COMMUNICATION OVERVIEW
A complete list of the ports and protocols that must be enabled on firewalls to ensure system functionality can be found in the Y Soft SAFEQ Cloud documentations . The customer network is expected to allow access to ports and services outlined in the documentation over the Internet , including name resolution ( DNS ).
HARDWARE APPLIANCE
OMNI BRIDGE
YSoft ’ s OMNI Bridge is an in-house manufactured hardware appliance . It can work as a gateway , giving customers the possibility to integrate remote locations in the Cloud and enable a rich set of print management features globally . It is the best way to enhance support to customers ’ hybrid office / home staff with Cloud printing .
As an edge device , OMNI Bridge instantly makes any supported printer cloud-ready . Also , it offers the following security benefits for customers :
• Enhanced Security : By keeping data processing and traffic local , OMNI Bridge reduces the exposure of sensitive information to external networks by consolidating local print traffic , thereby reducing the surface of external endpoint connections , minimizing the risk of cyberattacks , and ensuring data privacy and compliance with security regulations .
• Data containment : OMNI Bridge securely stores customer data , ensuring it remains within their network and enhancing the secure connection between PCs and printers , keeping data safe in transit and at rest .
• Increased supportability : OMNI Bridge provides additional on-premises services for legacy printers , containing less secure embedded terminal communications locally extending the lifespan of their existing printer hardware .
• Centralized management : OMNI Bridge provides a centralized point for monitoring and managing devices and applications across multiple locations . this simplifies administrative tasks , improves oversight , and facilitates remote troubleshooting and updates , reducing the need for on-site IT support and minimizing operational disruptions .
