Prime OS Edge - Simply containerize!

Individual software solutions for industrial requirements

Secure operating system for the edge

Prime OS Edge is a Linux-based, hardened operating system with a reduced attack surface, write protection, backup and update functions, and much more. The minimalist operating system runs entirely in RAM at runtime. The integrated Docker Engine and Docker Compose make the system ready for modern container-based software development. Ideal for Edge and Fog Computing. As a headless system, Prime OS Edge is optimally prepared for our Box-IPC. The Prime Tool Set efficiently supports you with system management via web interface and API. With the configuration levels BASE, STYLE and CUSTOM, Prime OS is flexibly and quickly adaptable to your requirements.
