Why choose Clever Edge

Security, sovereignty, compliance

On-site processing and management of sensitive data, with native compliance with regulations → traduction fidèle et institutionnelle.

Complete PaaS experience

Automated deployment, monitoring, managed services, traceability, and energy consumption optimization

Guaranteed critical operations

Business continuity even under degraded conditions, thanks to local processing and low network dependency

Total flexibility

Run all your workloads—applications, containers, databases, virtual machines, or processes—in the cloud, on-premises, or at the edge.

A robust and sovereign architecture

Clever Edge operates thanks to the orchestrator and control plane developed by Clever Cloud. Unlike traditional approaches, it does not rely on Kubernetes: we install our orchestration technology directly on your machines, delivering the same experience as Clever Cloud’s public cloud, but closer to your infrastructures.

This architecture provides:

  • Flexible deployment: Clever Edge can be installed on your physical or virtual environments, or on partner clouds, depending on your needs.
  • Multi-workload compatibility: containers, PaaS applications, virtual machines, or system processes.
  • A unified control plane: automated deployment, monitoring, and updates managed from the Clever Cloud platform.
  • Clever Cloud managed services: integrated monitoring, security, updates, and traceability—without added complexity.

With this approach, Clever Edge brings the power and simplicity of Clever Cloud’s PaaS directly into your data centers, industrial sites, or isolated environments.

Clever AirGap:
maximum security

For ultra-sensitive environments, Clever Edge can be deployed in AirGap mode:
  • Installation and updates through pre-validated images;
  • Isolated execution, completely disconnected from the Internet;
  • Centralized management of deployments to your edge devices.
This model ensures total resilience and absolute control over the trust chain.
