Introduction#
What is Carbonio?#
Carbonio is a comprehensive digital workplace platform designed to empower organisations with digital sovereignty through a secure, scalable, and fully managed on-premises solution. It provides a rich suite of collaborative tools, seamlessly combining enterprise-grade email, contacts, and calendars with modern collaboration features such as real-time chat, video meetings, and document editing, representing a reliable solution for enterprise business communication.
Built on an open-core architecture, Carbonio offers complete control over data and infrastructure, enhanced security, and smooth integration with existing systems. Its enterprise-ready features, including robust backup, archiving, legal-hold capabilities, and tools for regulatory compliance, ensure effective data management and sovereignty.
By leveraging the dynamic Carbonio Mesh technology, administrators can easily adapt the platform to meet both user and organisational needs, while also enabling horizontal and vertical scaling to accommodate growing resource demands. High availability and disaster recovery are ensured through full redundancy and active replication, complemented by robust security features including SAML and two-factor authentication (2FA).
Carbonio’s user-friendly interface and comprehensive administration dashboard simplify management and facilitate deployment in both public cloud and private data center environments.
