We turn the billions of resource-constrained edge devices into a powerful footprint for software-defined innovation.
BUILD APPS FOR TINY EDGE DEVICES WITH CLOUD-LIKE AGILITY
Atym uniquely extends container technology to hardware that can't support Docker, much less Linux. We're talking Kilobytes versus Gigabytes. In doing so, we mirror the core OCI principles as much as possible and accommodate typical CI/CD workflows. While we make it possible to run containerized apps on MCU-based devices, our solution is also a great alternative to Docker for conserving system resources on more capable hardware such as networking gear and set top boxes. Our sweet spot is devices with 1MB to 1GB of memory.
INCREASE SECURITY AND REDUCE RISK
The complexity of traditional embedded development makes security a real challenge. Atym containerization simplifies security by creating isolation between applications and the underlying hardware. Risk is further reduced in the field through fractional updates of individual containers, instead of replacing a monolith embedded firmware image which could brick the entire device and force a truck roll.
REMOTELY DEBUG AND FIX ISSUES
Our orchestration hub provides remote debug and remediation capabilities that developers expect in the data center. Developers can remotely access and debug code in individual containers and update them fractionally without bringing down an entire device. This capability is especially helpful if you are leveraging application containers from several partners that have different development lifecycles.
EXPAND YOUR DEVELOPER AND PARTNER ECOSYSTEM
Traditional embedded development is time-consuming and requires highly specialized skills. By abstracting hardware complexity, Atym makes MCU-based solutions accessible to IoT, AI and Cloud developers that don't have embedded experience. Organizations can also tap into an ecosystem of plug-in applications, without having to recompile an entire image whenever a 3rd-party app changes.
