verkkoOS

verkkoOS is a proprietary operating system developed by the Finnish company Verkko Oy. Designed for embedded systems and industrial applications, verkkoOS focuses on real-time performance, reliability, and security. It is built upon a microkernel architecture, which aims to enhance stability by minimizing the core functions running in privileged mode. This design choice is intended to isolate potential failures and improve overall system resilience.

The operating system supports a range of hardware platforms, often found in automation, telecommunications, and IoT devices. verkkoOS provides a framework for developers to create applications that require deterministic behavior and low latency. Its development emphasizes efficient resource utilization, making it suitable for devices with limited processing power and memory. The security features of verkkoOS include mechanisms for secure boot, access control, and data encryption, addressing the critical security needs of industrial environments. Verkko Oy offers development tools and support for integrating verkkoOS into custom hardware solutions.
