Hybrid Cloud
Springdel Hybrid Cloud is a modern architecture that combines the flexibility of cloud-based orchestration with the control and performance of on-premise content storage. This setup is ideal for organizations managing a large number of edge devices that require secure, responsive, and scalable content delivery — without compromising data privacy or incurring high cloud storage costs.
Key Benefits
- Centralized Storage – Manage all required files from a single, secure location in the Springdel console.
- Flexible Upload Options – Upload directly from your device or add via a hosted link.
- Multi-File Type Support – Store and deploy applications, certificates, HTML kiosk files, and more.
- Profile Integration – Easily attach stored files to profiles for automated deployment.
- Scalable Deployment – Apply files to multiple devices or fleets with minimal effort.
Step 1 - Configure On-Premise File Storage
1. Uploading Files
- In the Springdel Console, navigate to File System > Add > Files.
- Select Add by Link and input the full file URL.
- Example URL:
http://192.168.1.1:3000/example_file
- Alternatively, you may enable LAN Access Only if you want devices to fetch content strictly over local networks.
- Click Upload to save the file reference.
2. Uploading APK/XAPK Files
To add an app using a direct link:
- In the Springdel Console, navigate to File System > Add > APK/XAPK Files.
- Select Add by Link and input the full file URL.
- Example URL:
http://www.yourwebsite.net/storage/apk/testapp.apk
- Alternatively, you may enable LAN Access Only if you want devices to fetch content strictly over local networks.
- Click Upload to save the file reference.
Note: This same process also applies when adding files in the iOS App Files, Windows App Files, Certificates, APNS Certificates, and HTML Kiosk Files sections within the File System.
Step 2 - Associate the Profile
- Once your profile is configured with the selected files, associate the profile with the target fleet.
- Once associated, the files will be deployed on all devices in that fleet according to the profile settings.
Best Practices & Tips
- Use Descriptive File Names – Clearly name files to reflect their purpose and target devices (e.g., 2.apk).
- Host Files on Reliable Servers – For links, ensure the file is hosted on a stable, accessible server to avoid broken deployments.
- Verify File Integrity – Before uploading, check that files are complete, uncorrupted, and in the correct format.
- Organize by Category – Keep related files grouped by type for quicker retrieval and deployment.
- Remove Unused Files – Regularly clean up outdated or unused files to prevent clutter in the file repository.
