The evolution of Matrix is managed through an open governance process,
|
|
supervised by [The Matrix.org Foundation](https://matrix.org/foundation).
|
|
Moreover, all the software backing the network is [Free and Open
|
|
Source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software), which
|
|
guarantees quality and security.

Both end-to-end encryption and federation are *built-in* into Matrix. The
|
|
former will be enabled by default in the near future, making it a valuable tool
|
|
for activists and privacy-minded people all across the world.

We host your Matrix homeserver in our [own
|
|
datacenter](/u/projects/data-center-light/) in Switzerland, which we believe to
|
|
be as ecologically-friendly as a datacenter can get: we use old buildings,
|
|
second-hand hydroelectric, passive cooling and are directly plugged into a
|
|
hydroelectric power plant.

|
|
|
|
<p>A lot of privacy, security and usability work is going on... which
|
|
means that Matrix will get even more awesome in the coming months!</p>

## What is Matrix?
|
|
|
|
[Matrix](https://matrix.org/) is a modern and decentralised, open-source chat
|
|
solution backed by a dynamic community. It provides many advanced user-focused
|
|
features such as end-to-end encryption, bridging or audio & video calls:
|
|
|
|
* The strongest point of Matrix is *federation*: a Matrix homeserver - which is
|
|
what we offer - allows to manage your own community... and to join the whole
|
|
Matrix network. You will be able to exchange with users on any other Matrix
|
|
server without any special configuration!
|
|
* End-to-end encryption (E2EE) means that - when enabled - only the sender and
|
|
intended receiver(s) will be able to read the messages: even ungleich, who
|
|
manages the matrix server, will not be able to access the content of E2EE
|
|
messages.
|
|
* Our Matrix servers are provided with a TURN server, meaning that you'll be
|
|
able to use voice and video calls out of the box.
|
|
* We support bridging to other networks such as Mattermost instances, IRC,
|
|
Slack, Telegram and more via
|
|
[Matterbridge](https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge).
|
|
|
|
There are [many Matrix clients](https://matrix.org/clients/), although we
|
|
**strongly recommend** [Riot](https://about.riot.im/features) which is the most
|
|
advanced at the moment. Be aware, however, that you might be a bit confused
|
|
with its UI/UX at first (there is ongoing work to improve onboarding): we
|
|
encourage you to [try Riot/Matrix](https://riot.im/app/) first if your are not
|
|
already familiar with it.

|
You might be also interested in our [Mattermost-based chat
|
|
offer](../zero-carbon-chat), which might be closer to what you expect for a
|
|
enterprise team chat at the moment. We use both at ungleich, since Matrix is
|
|
especially convenient to reach out to the world!

## Pricing
|
|
|
|
The cost of our Matrix-as-a-Service offer is divided between a base maintenance
|
|
fee and the price of the dedicated Virtual Machine (VM) we deploy for you in
|
|
our [own datacenter](/u/projects/data-center-light). There is no artifical
|
|
restriction on the number of users or size of rooms: the only limit is the
|
|
resources we allocate to your node. We will extend them on demand, following
|
|
the pricing model (CPU, RAM, Disk) of our [VM
|
|
offer](https://datacenterlight.ch/).
|
|
|
|
<div class="alert alert-info">
|
|
We also offer custom-sized deployment. You can discuss our offer with us by
|
|
email or even on matrix, via <a
|
|
href="https://matrix.to/#/%23matrix:ungleich.ch">#matrix:ungleich.ch</a>!
