Local connection (Agent)

Overview

Local connections use an Agent running in the client’s environment to access private data sources. The Agent picks up jobs and performs processing locally.

Connection details

• Agent required: install the DeDuplica agent (Docker image) or run the agent service on-premises.
• Azure storage: an Azure Storage account is required for message exchange between DeDuplica cloud and the agent (container connection).
• Translation: DeDuplica translation layer may be required for specific local formats; coordinate with DeDuplica support for translations.

Notes

• Local/enterprise agents allow processing without exporting sensitive data to DeDuplica cloud; ensure network and firewall rules allow outbound access if required.
