Case Study: Collaboard achieves secure public-cloud collaboration with Edgeless Systems Constellation

Collaboard secures sensitive SaaS on Azure with Edgeless Systems, with no performance slowdown

Collaboard, an online whiteboard software, faced a challenge in offering its SaaS solution on public clouds due to the strict security and data privacy requirements of its customers, which prohibited the use of standard hyperscaler infrastructure. They needed a secure way to run their application on public clouds like Azure while guaranteeing that neither hackers nor cloud admins could access any sensitive customer data.

Edgeless Systems provided a solution through its product, Constellation, the first always-encrypted Kubernetes. By combining Constellation with Azure's confidential VMs, Collaboard implemented end-to-end confidentiality for its application, including network, storage, and key management, without changing their containerized app. The result was a secure product that met the customer's needs with no reported performance impact, allowing Collaboard to leverage the convenience of the public cloud while delivering the highest level of security.
