Introduction

Enterprise Solid Server (ESS) implements the Solid specification. The specification defines various Solid server/Pod behavior (as well as for Solid applications), including those for:

• Resource Access

• Reading and Writing Resources

• Web Access Control

• Shape Validation

In addition to providing the functionalities as defined by the Solid specification, the Inrupt Enterprise Solid Server also offers the following features.

ESS Architecture

ESS’s microservices architecture:

• Enables support for highly available deployment configurations.

• Enables simple scaling.

Advanced Security

ESS’ security features include:

• Solid OpenID Connect (OIDC) Broker Service to support login with any existing OIDC-compliant identity provider.

• Support for Access Control Policies (ACP).

• Auditing.

Pod Maintenance

ESS fully supports the W3C Linked Data Platform (LDP) specification. As such, navigating, creating, deleting and editing resources within a Pod is directly supported via the standard interfaces.

For more information, see LDP Service.

Administrative Operations

• You can set up a centralized logging system to a backend logging system.

• You can backup and restore at the individual Pod level or at the database level.
