We accompany our customers over the complete life cycle of their products, with individual consulting, software development, support and trainings.

Kernkonzept Services

From Design and Deployment to life-cycle Management

Our services: customized to your needs

Our customers’ products are protecting sensitive information, public infrastructure, and people’s lives. More and more devices are connected to the internet, are using applications from the cloud or are being remotely controlled over the internet. This exposure significantly increases the attack surface for invaders and demands for a thorough security architecture. To ensure cybersecurity as well as IT security, it is mandatory for manufacturers, system designers and users to only deploy secure computer systems. Kernkonzept supports you with designing and building secure and safe systems.

Customer centric

Individual guidance

We support and accompany you in each phase of the product life cycle. From the first sketches until maintenance we provide you with consulting, software development, support, and maintenance services. Moreover, we support you with workshops and trainings to enable you and your team so that you can fully exploit the L4Re Operating System Framework.

Your central contact at Kernkonzept will be an experienced systems engineer. This simplifies the communication between the development teams on both sides and helps you to get better results faster.

Since I started working on L4Re at university, I’ve been excited about solving problems by using L4Re. Today, I do that every day as a key account engineer for our customers.

System architecture and system Design

Consulting

Finding the right system architecture for a new product is a tedious and complex endeavor. While open questions are manifold and involve many stakeholders, budgets and project plans for time-to-market are tight. Often, it’s not only about finding the right software architecture, but also includes the design, development, or composition of the right hardware platforms and components.

Further, the obligation for accreditation of products intensifies the complexity of the project. The whole trusted computing base (TCB) of the computer system must be approved, which includes all the source lines of code in the TCB as well. We will advise you on how to reach your goals, from maximizing performance to minimizing the TCB and therefore also minimizing the certification efforts and time needed.

The computer system itself is an integral part of the system architecture and is central to many design and implementation decisions. The interaction between the different components is complex, and becoming highly challenging to integrate them smoothly. That’s why it is crucial to start your product development from that overall perspective from day one.

Our highly skilled and experienced system engineers with their more than 20 years of experience in operating system technologies consult you on the design options between Linux and other prevalent systems as well as microkernel-based approaches, such as L4Re, in combination with different hardware platforms and all common architectures (ARM, x86, MIPS, RISC-V).
