Standard Kubernetes doesn't handle collaborative editing sessions well at scale. When thousands of users edit documents simultaneously, all their requests (WebSocket connections, saves, clipboard ops) must hit the same pod. Standard horizontal scaling doesn't guarantee that. Our Collabora Online (COOL) Controller adds the orchestration layer that does: automatic session routing, live document migration between pods, and geolocation-aware load balancing across regions. No client-side config changes, document-level visibility in the admin console, and built for enterprise-scale deployments. If you're planning large-scale deployments, this white paper is for you. 🔗 https://buff.ly/q3pZQ1C Our pre-sales engineers are here to assist in deployment.

Collabora Online is a drop in replacement for Microsoft Office in your SharePoint environment, helping teams keep existing workflows and documents under their own control. Have you experienced a similar situation before? Read more: 🔗 https://buff.ly/bs43HKF #CollaboraOnline #OpenSource

Tomorrow at 15:00 CEST, we’re running a webinar on what transitioning from Microsoft to Collabora Office looks like in practice.
