BetterEdge is a confidential-computing offering from real-cis GmbH. Its cloud-style service, BetterEdge TED, provides Trusted Execution Domains: virtual machines whose memory is encrypted with Intel TDX technology, so that, according to the vendor, infrastructure administrators cannot technically read the code or data they process. Storage assigned to a TED is encrypted automatically, and customers can verify through remote attestation that the correct code runs on trusted hardware. The vendor also offers the Souveränitäts-Anker (sovereignty anchor), a hardware and software product run as a managed service in data centres or on-premises, and BetterEdge Network, a software option for building a separate network of compute nodes.
real-cis GmbH is registered in Arnstorf, Bavaria, with its business address in Langen, Germany. The pages consulted do not name the data-centre locations used for TED. The service relies on Intel CPU technology (TDX and SGX), a US-designed component. For European organisations that want to run sensitive workloads on infrastructure whose operator cannot read the data, it is an option from a German vendor.
