Enterprise Store

Secure software management for restricted network environments

The Enterprise Store is an on-premise edge proxy that enables enterprises to maintain control over software distribution whilst operating in network-restricted environments.


Operation in complex networks or air-gapped environments

The Enterprise Store enables organizations to access Canonical's software ecosystems from behind corporate firewalls, in air-gapped environments or other restricted networking environments. 

For air-gapped environments with no internet connectivity, the Enterprise Store can operate in offline mode. This allows updates to be manually sideloaded, ensuring software remains up to date and secure.

The Enterprise Store creates a local cache of downloaded files, speeding up subsequent downloads and minimizing bandwidth usage across your organization.


Key features

The Enterprise Store provides core capabilities to manage software securely across regulated industries.

Local caching optimization

A local cache of downloaded files speeds up deployments and minimizes bandwidth usage.


Air-gapped operation

Offline mode allows machines to receive updates even with no connection to the internet.


High availability

Multiple units ensure uninterrupted service by automatically routing requests to active instances during downtime.


Granular revision control

Pin specific revisions to prevent unexpected updates during operation.


Multi-package support

The Enterprise Store supports all snap and charm packages.


Snap integrity verification

The Enterprise Store serves regulated industries where strict security controls are required. Fundamentally, snaps have been designed with security in mind from the ground up.

The integrity of downloaded snap files is guaranteed through hashing signatures that are built into the design of snaps and implemented in snapd and the Snap Store. 

The Enterprise Store does not alter these signatures, ensuring that the chain of trust is always complete. This allows organizations to proxy software distribution through their controlled infrastructure while maintaining the same verification mechanisms as direct downloads.
