Commercial products based on FreeBSD

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are a number of commercial products based on FreeBSD. Information about these products and the version of FreeBSD they are based on is often difficult to come by, since this fact is not widely publicised.

[edit] Examples

• IronPort AsyncOS [1]
