As organizations seek greater control, security, and independence in their technology choices, reliance on proprietary platforms is becoming a growing concern—especially in embedded systems and modern appliances. Open source solutions provide a way forward, ensuring flexibility, security, and long-term sustainability without external dependencies. By leveraging the efficiency of Arm and the proven reliability of BSD, companies can build secure, high-performance embedded appliances that remain fully under their control—without sacrificing innovation or compliance.
