Barbara - An easy-to-use edge computing stack

STACK CORE LAYERS

Our pillars for flexibility

API

Built on Standards

REST API implemented using open-source and cross-platform technologies to ensure flexibility, long-term support, product quality and security.

Interoperable and Extensible

Designed as a horizontal piece that fits into a much larger puzzle. Our API has been conceived to allow easy integration with any other corporate systems.

Based on Microservices

Microservices-based system that can run as a multi-tenant SaaS or can be deployed as a dedicated instance in any type of public or private cloud or on-premise.

Node Manager

Management and Orchestration

Implements the core Edge Management and Orchestration (EMO) functionalities, including initial provisioning, ongoing monitorization and edge application scheduling.

Edge Health

Collects data on node performance such as CPU load, memory usage, amount of log messages or device temperature, and makes it accessible through the API.

Zero-touch OTA Updates

Enables the remote deployment of patches and functionality updates through an encrypted and verified channel. Update packages are bandwidth-optimized, with sizes close to 1MB.

OS

Linux-based

Based on the standard Linux kernel. It is a distribution completely developed by Barbara with remote manageability and small footprint at the core of the design.

Compatible with any Hardware

Offers out-of-the-box compatibility with all the major chip architectures (x86_64, armv7 and aarch64) and protocols (Ethernet, WiFi, 3G/4G/5G, Bluetooth and RS485).

Cybersecure

Barbara OS is fully patched and constantly updated to prevent and protect against vulnerabilities that can be exploited by malicious entities.

EDGE NODES

Compatible with the vast majority of edge gateways on the market

Small ARM-based gateways with or without graphic acceleration. Affordable and efficient. These are a few examples, contact us for details on more nodes.
