On-premise collaboration.
Deploying on-premise, or in a private cloud, enables organisations to bring secure and end-to-end encrypted communications into their own environment while benefiting from our expert support.
Simple, fast deployment.
For security or compliance reasons, many customers need to self-host their mission-critical communications.
Self-hosting is the preferred choice for large public sector organisations and those in regulated industries.
Our Element Installer makes it easy to configure, install, manage and upgrade an on-premise Element deployment, both on-premise and in a private cloud. And because Element is Matrix-based, entire supply chains and ecosystems are able to communicate through end-to-end encrypted messaging and VoIP.
Each party is able to retain its data sovereignty, and meet strict information assurance obligations.
Element Installer.
Element doesn’t simply accommodate self-hosting, we make it easy.
Using the Element Installer means you can be confident that your self-hosted Element deployment is always up-to-date, using the latest best practices.
The Element Installer includes Synapse configuration and usage, bug fixes, upgrades and enterprise add-ons. These include Delegated Auth (e.g. SAML/LDAP), Group Sync (e.g. LDAP, AD Graph API, SCIM), audit and admin bots, and integrations such as GitHub, GitLab, Jira and webhooks.
Support and SLA
Element’s support team provides unrivalled Element and Matrix expertise to ensure your on-premise deployment is in perfect shape.
How does it work?
Our installer gets you up and running in a consistent, automated manner in line with best practices for both Element and Matrix.
Both can be installed as a production ready instance or as a Proof of Concept.
Today, our installer is text-based and works on Ubuntu 20.04 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. You simply provide some basic information about your environment in configuration files, run the installer, and then start enjoying your very own Element stack that you control.
Why organisations choose Element On-premise.
Data sovereignty
Element On-premise lets you tightly control how and where your organisation’s messaging and collaboration data is hosted enabling you to comply with legal and regulatory obligations.
Federation
Element On-premise supports secure federation built on an open standard. This ensures easy, licence-free connectivity both, within a single organisation (internal only) and across a supply chain or ecosystem.
Security
Element provides end-to-end encrypted messaging and VoIP to keep the data secure. Only the participants (including visible in-room audit bots if required) can view the conversation.
Secure the entire network.
Element’s expertise in border gateways and cross-domain solutions includes managing air gapped networks, and networks with different security levels.
Border gateways can be used to secure a private Matrix network for a large organisation, or to underpin an entire federated ecosystem that spans multiple organisations.
Cross-domain solutions support communications between high-side and low-side environments, with configurable rules-based access.
A secure Skype for Business Server replacement.
Skype for Business Server is approaching End of Life, and it has no on-premise migration path. Element is a secure, end-to-end encrypted alternative.
