SAN JOSE, Calif. – Lynx Software Technologies in San Jose, Calif., is introducing the LynxElement Unikernel software that is to be POSIX compatible for mission-critical uses. Third-party and open-source software can put any application at risk, but threats and security impact on mission-critical software is great.
Unikernels work best for applications that require speed, agility, and a small attack surface for increased security, certifiability, and trusted computing such as avionics, autonomous vehicles, and critical infrastructure.
Unikernels are pre-built applications that use libraries, and can reduce software vulnerabilities to hackers and other attacks. Unikernels also are suited for mission-critical systems with heterogeneous workloads that need the coexistence of RTOS, Linux, Unikernel and bare-metal guests.
Lynx has based its Unikernel product on the company's LynxOS-178 real-time operating system, to enable compatibility between the Unikernel and the standalone LynxOS-178 product.
This enables users to transport applications between each environment and is FACE= and POSIX API-compatible. The Lynx framework provides built-in security for the Unikernel for security and safety certification in mission-critical applications.
