Designers across all industries require greater agility, faster time to market, and lower development costs to manage increasingly rapid innovation cycles and stay ahead in their markets. congatec addresses these needs with aReady.COM, a fully functionally validated package that includes workload consolidation, an operating system, and a functional software layer, to which OEMs can seamlessly connect their applications.
Thanks to the partnership with Canonical, aReady.COM modules will now be Ubuntu certified and pre-enabled with Ubuntu Pro, ensuring seamless software integration, optimized system stability, and long-term security through regular updates, which is a key priority for device OEMs and their end users, especially with the Cyber Resilience Act in effect.
“Our partnership with Canonical allows us to offer our customers a completely new level of application readiness through aReady.COM modules with a pre-installed and certified version of Ubuntu, with Ubuntu Pro enabled by default. This significantly improves time to market and provides long-term security and reliability,” explains Andreas Bergbauer, Solutions Management Manager at congatec.
“The partnership with congatec demonstrates our strong commitment to providing a secure and optimized platform for embedded and edge computing applications. Our certified solutions give OEMs the reliability and security they need to fully leverage their innovation power,” explains Alexander Lehmann, Sales Director – IoT at Canonical.
Ubuntu Pro provides up to 12 years of security maintenance and long-term support, access to device management tools, the ability to leverage Ubuntu in real time for latency-critical use cases, and compliance solutions for multiple standards and regulations, including the Cyber Resilience Act.
This ensures that customers benefit from a robust, future-proof platform that is continuously updated.
