“RTOS Ready Embedded Web Server on Steroids”
Barracuda App Server (BAS) provides a fully integrated and optimized solution for rapid IoT / M2M development of embedded web applications, allowing the device to achieve graphically rich, dynamic content, with a smart connected interface.
The BAS Architecture adopts to the complexities of today's distributed network environments by bridging server-side logic for deeply embedded devices to a dedicated host or cloud service. |

As devices have become far smarter, faster, and reliably connected, so has our desire to take advantage of these advances by adding human interface options for real-time dynamic content manipulation in control, analysis, and the ability to refresh, repair, or replace functional attributes, using servers-side logic. See our Web Server vs. Application Server comparison table for more information.
Protect Data Exchanges with Embedded SSLThe Barracuda App Server delivers embedded security and embedded encryption specifically tailored for compact devices via Real Time Logic’s SharkSSL. Easily design advanced secure network protocols such as our Lua powered SMQ broker by using the Barracuda App Server. Improve Time-to-MarketThe Barracuda App Server radically simplifies and shortens the development cycle for devices that need remote management or supervision. The Lua Server Pages virtual machine plug-in makes developing applications fast and easy. Reduced Total Cost of OwnershipTotal Cost of Ownership (TCO) is the primary reason that many large companies (e.g., Honeywell, ABB) have selected our Barracuda App Server over Open Source alternatives, but there are other important factors for choosing our product. These include a reduced time to market due to dramatically shortened development time; a high level of security; a framework that can be used as the cornerstone for all current and future Human to Machine and Machine to Machine interfaces that may be built into products; and, notably, easy access to our experienced Real Time Logic support personnel. Reduced Cost of GoodsWith a modern web interface, connected devices can avoid the additional expense of an onboard display. Where applications are limited by size, weight, and power constraints - such as military and aerospace applications and in highly competitive markets such as consumer goods - web interfaces deliver functionality and ease-of-use without the additional cost. |
Integrate with Your Choice of Embedded Operating Systems and PlatformsThe Barracuda App Server has been ported to many popular embedded operating systems, including INTEGRITY and µ-velOSity (Green Hills Software), VxWorks (Wind River), ThreadX/NetX (Express Logic), RTXC Quadros (Quadros Systems), QNX (QNX Software Systems), Embedded Linux, Windows CE, embOS (SEGGER), SMX (Micro Digital), and MQX (Freescale). Both the Barracuda App Server and the Barracuda Web Server can easily be ported to additional operating systems as needed. Customize and Upgrade Remote, In-Field DevicesThe Barracuda App Server allows you to remote manage your in-field devices and it includes such features as:
Access a Wide Range of Built-in Embedded Web Services and Application ComponentsBarracuda App Server integrates a full range of embedded web services, including event handler, secure network file system, secure sockets library, and AJAX, SOAP, JSON, and XML web services. A question that is frequently asked by our customers is how to access their own proprietary C functions from Lua code. Lua to C/C++ access is called a Lua binding and can be created manually or by using our automatic Lua Binding Generator. See our paper Lua fast-tracks embedded web application development for more information. |
