<TBD: Insert an overview of FriendCom’s project, highlighting their goals>
Streamlining Design with Compartmentalization and Integrated Security
FriendCom's innovative product architecture is built on ZAYA's three-layer system, enabling unparalleled security, modularity, and efficiency. At the foundation is ZAYA's Supervisor Layer, which provides advanced containerization capabilities through ZAYA Microcontainers.
By compartmentalizing FriendCom microservices into isolated ZAYA Microcontainers, FriendCom ensures robust separation between services. This not only eliminates the risk of one service interfering with another but also enhances overall system reliability. Remarkably, ZAYA delivers these benefits without requiring specific hardware architecture, positioning FriendCom as a leader in adopting compartmentalization for IoT devices.
"With ZAYA, we were able to achieve a level of compartmentalization we had only dreamed of before. Their microcontainer technology has completely transformed how we design and manage our services."– <TBD>, <TBD>, FriendCom
The microcontainer approach transforms the software development process. Each microcontainer is an independent, executable unit, allowing FriendCom to adopt a "divide and conquer" strategy. The result? Simplified software design and reduced development complexity.
"ZAYA's modular approach has made our software development process incredibly efficient. We can now make updates and enhancements faster and with fewer resources."– <TBD>, <TBD>, FriendCom
Furthermore, ZAYA's support for independent upgrades at the microcontainer level significantly reduces the size of firmware update packages. This minimizes bandwidth usage, cuts costs, and improves the customer experience with faster, more efficient updates.
ZAYA's Security Manager, an integral part of the ZAYA Supervisor Layer, elevates security by treating each microcontainer as an independent virtual environment. In addition to isolation protection, FriendCom benefits from the secure boot, secure update, anti-rollback protection, individual security lifecycle, individual secure storage, and attestation of each microcontainer individually.
ZAYA Microservices enable FriendCom to manage resource access seamlessly. By assigning specific hardware peripherals or software operations to individual microcontainers, FriendCom ensures that each service only accesses the resources it requires.
"The fine-grained resource control from ZAYA has simplified our resource allocation and minimized potential conflicts and vulranabilities between services."– <TBD>, <TBD>, FriendCom
Enabling Flexibility and Accelerated Go-To-Market with ZAYA Microservices
The second layer, the Service/Microservice Layer, serves as the backbone for FriendCom’s middleware. ZAYA Microservices are plug-and-play, offering unmatched flexibility. FriendCom can reuse services across devices or even assemble devices in the field. This agility drastically reduces manufacturing time and accelerates time-to-market.
FriendCom developed its own microservices, but its devices are also open to the use of third-party microservices from trusted partners.
"The plug-and-play capability of ZAYA Microservices has allowed us to streamline manufacturing and adapt our products for different use cases with ease."– <TBD>, <TBD>, FriendCom
Driving Innovation in the Application Layer
On the Application Layer, FriendCom develops user-facing applications that seamlessly interact with ZAYA Microservices and the Supervisor. This architecture supports dynamic and scalable application development tailored to specific customer needs.
