Logic Supply partners with Linux developer for digital signage, kiosks

June 28, 2013

Industrial and embedded computer provider Logic Supply recently announced a new partnership for with RapidRollout, a developer of custom Linux platforms for computing appliances. This partnership will allow Logic Supply to offer customers complete Linux operating system solutions in addition to its computer hardware, the company said.

A sizable number of hardware buyers need Linux OS development to successfully launch their application, the company said. RapidRollout enables appliance developers with no prior experience to leverage the flexibility and security of the Linux operating system. They offer a Linux OS specifically designed for kiosks, digital signage and other appliance applications; a Web-based platform configuration tool that makes it easy to manage system settings and build deployable images; and a remote management platform for the deployed devices, Logic Supply said.

"A lot of people get hardware from one place and their OS from somewhere else," said Forest Bond, RapidRollout's Founder. "What we're doing with this partnership simplifies all that, and encourages collaborative problem solving instead of the finger-pointing that sometimes happens when multiple, unrelated vendors are involved in a project."

Logic Supply President and CEO Roland Groeneveld said, "We've been expanding our range of OEM Services, and Linux development services are a natural add-on to our offering for project customers."
