Case Study: ZenDiS achieves secure, scalable sovereign workplace deployment with Edgeless Systems Constellation

ZenDiS deploys sovereign openDesk on Azure with Edgeless Systems

The Center for Digital Sovereignty (ZenDiS), a German government-owned company, needed to deploy its OpenDesk sovereign workplace solution securely. The challenge was balancing the need for strong data security and sovereignty with the ease of use and scalability required for a public administration platform, as both on-premises and public cloud options presented significant drawbacks.

Edgeless Systems implemented its Constellation solution, which uses confidential computing to protect the entire Kubernetes deployment on Microsoft Azure. This ensured that all OpenDesk data remains encrypted even during processing, preventing access by cloud administrators or other tenants. The result was a highly scalable and secure deployment that met the public administration's stringent requirements, enabling digital sovereignty on public cloud infrastructure.
