Custom Network Appliance Development

Our core product, CacheGuard-OS, is a highly integrated Linux-based operating system that transforms any machine into a network appliance. Thanks to our modular development approach, we can reuse existing modules to build custom appliances quickly and efficiently.

To develop a custom network appliance, we start by creating detailed technical specifications based on the functional specifications we typically receive from the client. Once the client validates our technical specifications, we proceed with development in three phases:

• First, we adapt our existing modules to meet the client’s requirements and build a solid OS foundation for new developments.
• Next, we integrate third-party open-source packages into the OS base and ensure compatibility with existing modules.
• Finally, we develop custom programs to meet the specific needs of the client.

It’s as simple as that! Why is it so simple for us? Because we have years of experience in developing network appliances. By choosing us to develop your appliance, you benefit from our deep expertise and extensive experience in the field.
