Core Systems Software (CSS) Solutions for OEMs/ODMs

Phoenix Technologies introduced the first PC BIOS solution that lead to the growth of the PC industry in 1984.  For over 25 years, Phoenix has been the undeniable innovation leader in BIOS solutions, creating mobile, desktop, and server solutions that exceed our customer’s expectations. The PC industry’s top system builders have always trusted Phoenix to pioneer open standards and deliver innovative solutions that will help them differentiate their systems, reduce their time-to-market, and increase their revenues.

To enable system builders to deliver their products, Phoenix offers several solutions to complement the Core System Software solution: a Phoenix Core Architect (PCA) toolkit, extensive training classes, and a first class support and consultancy service.

  • Phoenix Core Architect (PCA) is an advanced toolkit that provides graphical development as well as a build and debug environment for CSS development.  PCA are the tools our engineers use every day to create SecureCore and Secure Core Tiano. With it, you will be able to bring-up, debug, make feature modifications, and perform system enhancements easier and faster. 
  • CSS training programs teach the skills that system builders need to become experts in designing and customizing Phoenix products, and help them set their products apart from their competitor’s offerings.
  • Support and services solutions provide unique customization, maintenance and technical support.

In addition to Core System Software solutions, Phoenix also offers several product solutions that are typically sold through OEMs/ODMs.  These include HyperSpace™, FailSafe™ and Phoenix Freeze™.

  • HyperSpace™ is operating system software that can run stand-alone or along side another operating system such as Microsoft® Windows®.  It provides users enhanced performance such as instant-on technology, extended battery life, and always connected technology.
  • FailSafe™ is a software-as-a-service solution that can prevent a PC and a user’s information from becoming lost or stolen. The irremovable FailSafe agent resides on the PC and can track and/or disable the PC, if it’s ever lost or stolen.  Using the Internet, FailSafe can also retrieve copies of files and delete the information stored on the missing PC.
  • Phoenix Freeze™ is a software solution that locks a computer when the user’s mobile Bluetooth® enabled phone leaves a user adjustable, pre-defined area. When the user moves back into the range of the computer, Freeze automatically unlocks the PC.
