Secure edge operating systems and
automation for the intelligent edge
The reliable operation of edge IT infrastructure and services, running in remote and unmanned locations, requires security-hardened operating systems that are optimized to operate within the hardware constraints of the edge.
Secure edge operating systems
KlasOS is a secure open source Operating System (OS) developed explicitly for the edge. KlasOS operates on Voyager computing (KlasOS Keel) and networking (KlasOS Fastnet) modules. Security is at the core of KlasOS. Each OS type undergoes regular conformance and validation testing in compliance with the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Digital Signal Standard in support of Common Criteria (CC) certification.
Keel
Keel is a lightweight Linux-based open source OS that is power-failure tolerant and optimized to run on SWaP constraint hardware. Key functionality includes:
Keel is NIAP CC compliant and is listed as an NSA CSfC component.
Fastnet
Fastnet is a NIAP CC certified network switch OS available on Voyager network switching modules of VoyagerSW12GG and VoyagerTDC10G.
Key functionality includes:
Blackrock
Blackrock is a flexible Ansible-based IT automation platform that reduces the time to deployment readiness by eliminating the manual configuration efforts of Voyager modules and third party systems.
Key functionality includes:
- Ansible agentless automation
- Provisioning of the cloud and edge
- IPsec PKI certificate management
- Nagios monitoring and observation
Benefits
Lower Cost of
Ownership
Reduces the need for multiple devices and associated licensing costs. Eliminates the complexity of running siloed infrastructure at the edge.
Enhanced Security and Visibility
Industry validated and NIAP certified. No bloatware, reducing the security exposure to common threats associated with traditional OS types.
Faster and Robust Deployments
Minimal IT effort and experience required to provision, manage, observe, and update cloud-to-edge scaled deployments.
