System tuning and optimization

In its "out of the box" state, a Linux platform may not always align perfectly with your project's unique requirements. The good news is that Linux offers a plethora of features and functions, allowing developers to take advantage of its capabilities. However, achieving optimal performance often requires constant monitoring and fine-tuning to tailor a Linux platform precisely to your product's needs.

With experience of more than 20 years in modifying Linux to meet the customers’ needs, MontaVista stands as a reliable partner for Linux system tuning and optimization. Our expertise spans various Linux tuning projects and issues in embedded markets.
