Multi device
Ozeki users can use multiple devices at the same time. They can chat using Windows or MacBooks, and use iPhones and Android devices simultaneously. Phones are often used to take pictures that are shared into the chat and tablets with on-screen pens are often used to annotate diagrams to give feedback.
Resource efficient
The principal behind the Ozeki chat architecture is to push workload to the clients. Resource demanding encryption tasks, display rendering and other resource intensive jobs are performend by the client devices, and the server workload is kept to a minimal. This insures long term reliable operation.
VPS compatible
Ozeki chat can be installed on Virtual Private Servers (VPS) and on physical computers. It can also be deployed on servers operated by cloud hosting companies, such as Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud. In terms of operating system Windows and Linux are supported.

In Ozeki Chat, every conversation has its own unique encryption key. This key is shared only between the participants of the conversation. Messages of the conversation are stored on the server encrypted with this unique encryption key. When a user logs in, his messages are downloaded from the server in the encrypted format and are only deciphered in the client. This is why even if somebody has full admin access to the server, and can listen to the network traffic, they still cannot read the conversations.
Automatic cleanup
Automatic cleanup is also a key feature of Ozeki Chat. By default, every message is automatically deleted after 30 days from the server. (You can change this period to as many days as you like on a per-conversation basis.) This automatic cleanup adds a further layer of security and it is also useful in maintaining disk space, speed, and system resources. Your chat system will stay lean, fast, and efficient.

Automation
The best way to build a business is to rely on software instead of human work. Your automated software solutions will work precisely and reliably 24/7. Ozeki Chat Server provides various APIs to send chat messages automatically to your customers and employees. You can use the built-in HTTP Rest API, you can send chat messages from a database, such as Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, or MySQL, or you can use other integration options.
One of the most common ways to do automated messaging is to use a database system. To send chat messages from your database, all you have to do is setup two database tables: one for sending chat messages and another for receiving chat messages. Ozeki Chat can pick up the chat messages to send using an SQL SELECT statement and insert the incoming chat messages using an SQL INSERT statement. More information about such a setup can be found in our SQL to Chat setup guide. Database server-specific configurations are listed below.
SQL to chat messages configurations:
Send Chat message from Microsoft SQL Server
Send Chat message from Microsoft Access
Send Chat message from Oracle
Send Chat message from MySQL
