First thing to consider in product development is the support
structure and how are you going to deploy bug/security fixes to the
installed base.

The India based products like Cyberoam, Gajshield, Quickheal etc.;
they import the hardware appliances in volumes, brand them with their
own labels and install a custom Linux image developed by them  **but**
they have a support structure (phone, email, web forums, firmware
updates etc.)

I don't how many people you have in your company.  IMO, even for a
company  with >10 technical people,  the above list is too much to
chew and digest.

Focus on one or two for production which should include a support
structure as mentioned above.

I am also working on a similar concept with a different approach.
Contact me if you are interested.
