On-Premises Proxy
On-Premises Proxy is a network component that routes requests between internal infrastructure and external services, enabling secure communication across network boundaries. Integrating it with Harmony allows the platform to reach on-premises systems and data sources that are otherwise inaccessible from the cloud. This connection ensures that automated workflows and AI-driven insights can operate seamlessly across both cloud and local environments.
Capabilities
- Secure Tunnel Connectivity: Establishes an encrypted channel between Harmony and on-premises systems without requiring inbound firewall rule changes.
- Internal Data Access: Allows Harmony to query and retrieve data from internal tools, databases, and services hosted behind your corporate network.
- Hybrid Workflow Automation: Enables Harmony to trigger and manage automated IT workflows that span both cloud-based and on-premises environments.
What Harmony does with On-Premises Proxy
Plenty of systems that matter still run inside the corporate network, and exposing them to the internet is not an option. The proxy gives Harmony a secure tunnel to a target address you nominate, so an internal application or directory can take part in a Harmony workflow without opening inbound firewall rules.
Data synced
- The target address each proxy instance is configured to reach
- Whether the target is on-premises or otherwise network restricted
- Installation and connection status for the proxy
- Responses returned by the internal system through the tunnel
Actions available
- Establish a secure tunnel to an internal target address
- Reach internal applications and directories from Harmony
- Run workflows that span cloud and on-premises systems
Real-world use cases
Internal system in a workflow: Harmony reaches an application behind the firewall through the proxy, so it can take part in automation without being exposed publicly.
No inbound firewall changes: The tunnel is established outbound, so security does not have to open a path into the network.
Hybrid environment: An onboarding run touches both a cloud identity provider and an on-premises system in a single pass.
FAQ
On-Premises Proxy is the secure tunnel that lets Harmony reach systems inside your network, for IT teams whose tools are not all in the cloud. Plenty of systems that matter still run inside the corporate network, and exposing them to the internet is not an option.
