Attributes | Description | Informational |
Type | Time Critical Edge Compute | Functionally safe capable for Industrial implementations, and enabled for Real-Time |
Industry Sector | Industrial Edge with applicability to applications where time-sensitive compute and/or functional safety are required | |
Business driver | Industrial Edge is shifting dramatically with manufacturers, oil and gas, energy and other major industries transitioning to software defined infrastructure just as the telecommunications sector has been undergoing a similar transformation. Akraino has the opportunity to play a critical role in hosting scalable, tuned software defined infrastructure for Industrial potentially ushering in this transformation and coalescing the ecosystem. | |
Business use cases | Use cases in Manufacturing, Smart Buildings, general IIOT.○

Business Cost - Initial Build Cost Target Objective | Example: Dell 3000 - ~$800 list Example: Dell 5000 - ~$1300 list Example: HPE EL300 - ~$2500 list | |
Business Cost – Target Operational Objective | TBD - could be highly variable based upon scale of facility. From smaller manufacturers with one facility to large refining facilities with potentially thousands of deployed units. | |
Security need | Functional Safety (FuSa) core OS certification. Security for Industrial is a key vector, which is why this stack is in essence functionally safe - by using open source leadership software such as Zephyr and ACRN - projects designed to meet both functional safety and real time requirements for security at the core of the stack. By leveraging Kata Containers, all container workloads can leverage VT for containerized workload isolation. Trusted Execution Environment compatible. | |
Regulations | IEC 61508 - Safety Integrity Level | |
Other restrictions | For industrial deployments:-
