Reliability The Apunix kiosk software engine is platform independent, which translates to the most reliable, trouble-free kiosk in the world today. It is able to run with any operating system, including those that are the most stable, built on an operating system crafted by Apunix from Linux to the unique requirements of a self-service appliance. The Apunix software runs on solid state, disk-free hardware. This combination means no restarts nor hang-ups; Apunix customers run reboot-free for months, even years. For example, TravelCenters of America has not rebooted their network of kiosks since their deployment in September 2000. Scalability Our kiosk software operates on any computing hardware without hardware modification, including Thin Clients, handheld, wireless PDA's such as Plam Pilots and iPAQ, embedded devices, PC's, workstations, and servers.
