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.
