KlasOS 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, this leads to IT security gaps, management issues, and inefficiencies at the edge.
Keel is an innovative OS designed to address IT challenges at the edge. Keel empowers a software-defined approach to creating an intelligent edge, allowing IT and network professionals to consolidate the edge as a one-box solution, significantly reducing IT effort at the edge.
Keel, the secure Intelligent Edge OS
Keel is an x86-focused secure lightweight operating system OS designed to simplify IT operations at 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, and has been validated in accordance with Common Criteria (often abbreviated as CC) standards.
Connectivity
Integrated SDN and SD-WAN, ease of connecting over Ethernet, Wi-Fi, USB, and 3G/4G/5G
Virtualization
KVM hypervisor to run business applications as virtual machines and containers on the edge
IoT Telematics
Software support of circuit-switched interfaces for serial, CAN, and MVB
Management
Secure remote management, provisioning, and over the air updates, easily automated with Ansible
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
