OEMs
today need robust networking functionality, wide
platform support, and guaranteed, tested performance
from their embedded operating systems.Wasabi Certified
NetBSD, a certified, tested, and optimized version of
the NetBSD operating system, offers the rich
functionality of BSD Unix without Linux’s troublesome
GPL License and with the security of professional
certification, testing and support. It is the premier OS
for embedded, server, storage, and other
networking-intensive applications.
Every Wasabi Certified NetBSD Platform Support Package
includes support for the specific features of the
hardware platform, documentation, cross toolchain hosted
on Windows, Linux, or BSD, complete source code, and 90
days of configuration and installation support. And
Wasabi’s regression, characterization and stress testing
of Wasabi Certified NetBSD enables us to certify that
the binary OS we deliver operates to a professional
standard.
Certified and Tested on Leading Reference Platforms
All Wasabi Certified NetBSD packages are regression,
conformance, and performance tested at Wasabi’s
performance and testing lab. Full documentation is
provided. Wasabi’s test procedure includes: |
*
Building the source code in accordance with the same
instructions provided to users
* Installation of the binary image on the reference
platform
* Exhaustive testing of all of the functions provided by
the reference platform/software package according to
generally accepted benchmarks and methodology

NetBSD:
The Best of Open Source
NetBSD is cleanly architected, with a familiar API --
which means rapid time to market and lower development
costs. Your Unix-fluent developers can begin using it
right away. In addition: |
*
NetBSD’s TCP/IP implementation leads the industry, and
is the basis of most TCP/IP implementations available
today. Its networking functionality is unparalleled.
* NetBSD’s kernel is open source, but governed by the
BSD license, not Linux’s GPL. With NetBSD, OEMs may keep
changes to the kernel and related modules proprietary -
with no threat of litigation or code exposure.
* NetBSD has a very small footprint; complete iSCSI
application runs in 8MB flash on Intel XScale platforms
with room to spare.
* Thanks to NetBSD’s thirty-year code heritage, its
advanced technical features include POSIX compliance,
high performance threads, IPv6 and IPSec, 32- and 64-
bit support, performance-optimized VM, and
high-performance file systems.

Reliability and Support
The Wasabi team includes the world’s leading NetBSD
engineers, representatives from NetBSD foundation and
core team, and key embedded port masters. Wasabi
Certified NetBSD is tested and dependable, and already
used in many high-reliability devices today. And Wasabi
offers a range of custom support packages for Wasabi
Certified NetBSD. Support is available in 40-hour,
per-incident, or retained support packages, with
maintenance, upgrades, and custom packages available to
fit your needs.
Optional Prioprietary Extentions
WasabiRAID
Wasabi also offers WasabiRAID, a small software RAID
implementation, which uses simple building blocks to
provide excellent performance and extensibility, as a
separately licensable unit for OEMs embedding Wasabi
Certified NetBSD in their products. Click here to learn
more about WasabiRAID and how it uses basic mechanisms
such as "span", "stripe" and "parity" to provide an
extensive array of RAID features, with an option to
aggregate these functions as desired.
WasabiJFS
Wasabi Certified NetBSD works seamlessly with the
separately-licensed Wasabi Journaling File System.
Wasabi's implementation of journaling builds on the
established and trusted Berkeley Unix Filesystem, is not
restricted by the GNU Public License (unlike IBM's JFS
and SGI's XFS), works on FFS2, allowing filesystems
larger than 2 Terabytes, and can place the journal in
non- volatile memory, eliminating duplicate disk writes.
