SoftInABox

SoftInABox is a software development framework which helps you build software applications delivered as boxes. Once plugged into a network the boxes start deliver round the clock services. They are packed together with all required hardware and do not require any installation effort.

Have you ever considered developing a pluggable Box product? Writing an application as a pluggable box, such as: a file server, a network server, an info kiosk, a digital security system consists more than writing the application code. Other problems must be solved: box software protection, failure and recovery management, logging, installation and duplication, automatic backups, remote configuration.

Solving these problems requires significant development effort and also OS integration expertize. According to our experience at least 20-40% of the box development effort of reside in the configuration, OS based decisions and OS integration.

The solution offered by Nemesis IT is a software development framework which helps you build the application in a controlled environment without having to make the effort of integrating the application with the operating system. We do not provide a Linux distribution but a thin layer upon an existing distribution consisting of standalone programs and scripts which provide you with all needed functionality.

Do you need SoftInABox? For an response please answer these questions::

• Will you have permanent access to the box? How it will handle software and hardware failures?
• Do you need the application to run round the clock with automatic recovery?
• Do you need remote access to logs to monitor it's status?
• What will protect the software inside? Will the application be protected?

The SoftInABox framework offers:

• box software protection
• failure recovery
• remote log access
• remote system configuration
• box replication solution
• box install solution
• software licensing framework
