Tackling complex data problems, one connection at a time.

Skai is a cloud platform with storage, database, and runtime layers.  Skai allows developers to build complex data and process structures that can be shared, distributed, and connected.

With the rise of big data collection and networking, IT systems are becoming increasingly complex.  The development of complex, distributed systems leads to ever-greater levels of cost and risk.  At the same time, IT systems need to become more fluid and adaptive to changing requirements.

With Skai, developers can build and manage dynamic, distributed data and process structures.  Skai enables IT systems to be both densely interconnected and flexible.

Apps

How do you build interoperable applications? How do you scale your applications to accommodate new users, data, and requirements? How do you build collaborative systems without sacrificing security and control? Skai has a solution for each of these problems

Custom Apps

Skai is a general-purpose platform for building next-generation cloud applications and custom solutions. The Skai development team built the first application, Skai-Box, to make it easy to manage people, groups, files, and data in the cloud. Skai-Box is just the first of many possible applications on Skai.

Applications running in the Skai have access to a range of services, including:

  • Virtualization – Turn your enterprise server into a cloud server
  • Hadoop – Open-source scalable storage layer developed for the cloud
  • HornetQ – Open-source queing technology developed for the cloud
  • Skai-FS – Cloud file system for heterogenous data types
  • Skai-Streams – Message-passing architecture for distributed IT systems
  • Skai-Logic – Workflow paradigm for linking processes and data
  • Skai-Forms – Define and distribute schemas across databases

As a distributed data management system, Skai has many benefits:

  • Security – Install Skai-Base on your own servers and run your own apps – no sharing required
  • Scalability – Scale up your apps with Hadoop and HornetQ server clusters
  • Control – Manage your own private cloud according to your requirements, build custom apps
  • Interoperability – Tie your apps into a common data layer, enable apps to share information across instances of Skai-Base
  • Flexibility – Update your data model on the fly, build new apps to run on existing schemas, share schemas with partner organizations
