Dedicated Appliances

Reduce TCO by controlling the state of dedicated embedded systems

Embedded systems are widely deployed in a distributed model running business critical applications. These may be dedicated appliances sitting in enterprises or gaming consoles and other. It is often the responsibility of the embedded system manufacturers to ensure these dedicated systems continue to work as shipped and stay up. Any unauthorized, unwanted, out of policy software change, either by an individual during support and maintenance procedures or via a security attack, can lead to downtime and unavailability, increasing support costs for the embedded system manufacturers.

Solidcore’s S3 Control - Embedded for dedicated appliances

Solidcore helps in providing control over the software installed and running on dedicated embedded systems. It helps reduce support costs by reducing the number of in-field support cases. It keeps the systems secure and in a known good state. It eliminates emergency patching and reduces the frequency and number of patching cycles, enabling embedded system manufacturers to have more testing time before patching. Additionally, S3 Control helps enforce embedded system manufacturer’s software change policy. It ensures that only the software authorized by the manufacturer is what is installed and running on the embedded system deployed in the field.
