Overview of ESS Pro

[WORK IN PROGRESS]

Element Server Suite Pro (ESS Pro) is the commercial Matrix distribution from Element for professional use. It is based off ESS Community and includes additional features and services that are tailored to professional environments with more than 100 users up to massive scale in the millions.

ESS Pro is designed to support enterprise requirements in terms of advanced IAM, compliance, scalability, high availability and multi-tenancy. ESS Pro makes use of Synapse Pro to provide infrastructure cost savings with unmatched stability and user experience under high load. It uses Element’s Secure Border Gateway (SBG) as an application layer firewall to manage federation and to ensure that deployments stay compliant at any time. ESS Pro includes L3 support, Long-term Support (LTS), Advanced Security Advisory and prepares customers for the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).

This documentation provides all information for Element customers to get started as well as to work with ESS Pro.
