description: 'SkyFoundry, founded in 2009 and headquartered in Glen Allen, Virginia, develops SkySpark, an analytics and informatics
  platform that connects, stores, analyzes, and visualizes data from smart devices, automation and control systems, meters,
  and sensors to "find what matters" in large equipment and facility datasets. SkySpark automatically detects issues, patterns,
  deviations, faults, and cost-reduction opportunities across intelligent buildings, industrial, agriculture, energy, government,
  and healthcare facilities, and has been applied to over 15,000 buildings spanning more than a billion square feet. SkySpark
  is a native Project Haystack server: external applications integrate through the Haystack HTTP REST API (ops such as read,
  hisRead, hisWrite, pointWrite, watchSub/watchPoll, eval, commit, and nav) with Zinc, JSON, Trio, and CSV data formats, and
  authenticate using the Haystack SCRAM (SHA-256) handshake with bearer authTokens. The company sells through a network of
  140+ OEM, systems-integrator, and value-added-distributor channel partners rather than a self-service public SaaS.'

  description: SkySpark is a native Project Haystack server. External applications integrate through the Haystack HTTP REST
    API, exposing operations such as about, read, hisRead, hisWrite, pointWrite, watchSub, watchPoll, watchUnsub, nav, eval,
    and commit over Zinc, JSON, Trio, and CSV. Endpoints follow the pattern /api/{proj}/{op} on each self-hosted SkySpark
    instance; authentication uses the Haystack SCRAM (SHA-256) handshake, after which a bearer authToken is presented via
    the Authorization header. There is no single public multi-tenant host — each customer runs its own SkySpark server.

  detail: SkySpark is self-hosted per customer with no public API host, and SkyFoundry's own product documentation at skyfoundry.com/doc
    (and its forum) redirects to a customer login page; only the generic Project Haystack HTTP API spec is public.
