Keel
Empowering the Software-Defined Intelligent Edge
Keel revolutionises the way IT and network professionals deploy, monitor, and manage infrastructure and applications at the edge.
Edge compute, connectivity, and storage are traditionally separate systems, managed via multiple operating systems. As a result, it leads to IT security gaps, management issues, and inefficiencies at the edge.
KlasOS Keel is an innovative OS designed to address these challenges on the edge. Keel empowers a software-defined approach to creating the intelligent edge, allowing IT and network professionals to consolidate the edge as a one-box solution that significantly reduces the time to intelligence from anywhere.
Keel is an x86-focused secure lightweight operating system with an integrated hypervisor and a range of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) features. Keel has been validated in accordance with Common Criteria (often abbreviated as CC) standards.

FEATURE in focus
Software Defined -Wide Area Networks (SD-WAN)
Keel SD-WAN simplifies secure connectivity with the Intelligent Edge. Keel SD-WAN supports the use of multiple Mobile Network Operators (MNO), public and private radio networks, and Wi-Fi to deliver a secure over the top network from the edge to anywhere.
Keel SD-WAN features include:
Link Aggregation – flexibility to bond multiple modems to increase bandwidth at the edge e.g. send traffic over 6 x mobile connections
Link Prioritization – configurable settings for greater control of when links are used to send traffic e.g. Always use Wi-Fi when available
High Availability – continuous monitoring of link performance with automatic handover between links e.g. MNO A has low link capacity, use MNO B instead
Traffic Segmentation – Easily segregate traffic types for enhanced security e.g. operational traffic versus direct internet access
Traffic Encapsulation – Integrate with existing PKI infrastructure, secure data transfers using Keel private device keys
Keel, the secure Intelligent Edge OS
Keel is a secure OS designed for the operation of the edge. Keel provides IT and network professionals with a holistic software platform to configure, manage and automate networking, compute, and storage as a single device. Furthermore, Keel offers a secure environment to run business applications that can securely connect to anywhere.
