Enea Linux is a purpose built commercial embedded Linux distribution for multiple architectures. It is Yocto Project compatible and aligned with the Yocto Project release schedule. Enea Linux enables high throughput and low latency for physical networking and NFV applications.
Enea Linux provides high throughput, low latency, and determinism, specifically with physical networking and NFV use-cases in mind.
It offers optimized Linux kernels and driver configurations focused on networking use cases and specific customer needs.
Keeping up with the increasingly complex processor architecture and massive feature growth represents a significant risk in getting an embedded solution to market.
The support from a trusted partner with a mature embedded Linux platform is the key to reduce time-to-market and mitigate business-risks, so that you can develop groundbreaking software faster and more cost-effectively.
Enea is committed to the open source community and contributes actively to the Yocto Project, Linaro, OPNFV, and other industry collaboration projects.
Enea’s engagement in the OSS Security Group enables a strategic position to gain early awareness of the security risks which makes it possible to rapidly provide security patches.
Enea Linux is built with NFV use cases in mind, where high throughput, low latency, determinism, and virtualization capabilities are important characteristics.
The Enea Linux and Yocto Project release schedules are aligned, giving you new and updated versions of packages without jeopardizing development time nor stability.
The Carrier Grade profile provide a robust and secure platform for Carrier Grade platforms and applications.
The Networking profile provides a physical networking configuration optimized for high networking throughput.
The Virtualization profile provides a feature complete configuration for building network virtualization platforms, enabling high networking throughput for virtualized network functions.
The Standard profile provides a base configuration for building deterministic embedded platforms and applications.
Enea Linux provides ready-to-use access to the feature set of the entire Yocto Project through “SMART” package management, enabling customers to add packages on their own during development. Enea Linux also offers use case specific optimization for physical and virtualized networking services beyond what is available out of the box from the open source community today.
Enea takes the cost and risk out of your Linux platform by providing you with a mature distribution and experienced support. Over the life cycle of your Linux based solution, support from a proven commercial partner is significantly cheaper and risk-averse than a solution in-house, allowing your development team to focus on product value.
Enea Linux incorporates the feature growth and maturity of the open source community, and introduces minimal software lock-in. The optimized and hardened virtualization profile for x86 and ARM includes Virtualized Network Service samples for simplified VNF development.
Enea Linux is proven in use at Tier 1 TEMs and offers liability and infringement protection, customized product life cycle management, and a range of support, training and security services.
As an independent embedded Linux provider, Enea has a unique position to meet the needs of communications applications and provide software solutions that are hardware vendor agnostic. Enea is the only Independent Software Vendor (ISV) involved in both Linaro and Yocto.
With decades worth of operating systems experience, Enea has tremendous expertise handling security risks. A strategic involvement in the OSS Security Group enables early awareness of vulnerabilities and rapid deployment of security patches.
The Enea Linux tools suite consists solely of open source development tools covering all phases of the development process - from building Linux images to application development, including tracing, profiling, and debugging.
