NEWS HIGHLIGHTS
- Virtualization Profile for VxWorks
integrates real-time embedded, Type 1 hypervisor into the core of
the RTOS.
- Provides safe and secure partitioning
and addresses Internet of Things device challenges.
- Future-proof architecture adapts and
evolves to meet changing market requirements, customer needs, and
technology advancements.
Wind River®, a world leader in delivering software for
intelligent connected systems, has introduced a virtualization
profile for the next generation version of its market-leading
VxWorks® real-time operating system (RTOS). Based on proven Wind
River virtualization technology, Virtualization Profile for VxWorks
extends the scalability capabilities of the VxWorks 7 Core Platform
by integrating a real-time embedded, Type 1 hypervisor into the
core of the RTOS.
Through embedded virtualization, Virtualization Profile allows
VxWorks customers to consolidate multiple workloads on a single
processor. It provides robust, safe and secure partitioning across
all market segments, from automation control to medical scanners to
avionics control systems -- critical in today’s era of the Internet
of Things (IoT). OS-agnostic, the profile allows combinations of
VxWorks, Linux, Windows® and other operating systems to share the
memory and cores of a multi-core processor or system-on-chip
(SoC).
“VxWorks with integrated virtualization allows customers to
address IoT device challenges, where connectivity, scalability,
security, and future-proofing are required,” said Dinyar Dastoor,
vice president of product management at Wind River. “It delivers
the key benefits that will give our customers a competitive edge in
consolidation, flexibility, safety, and security, as well as CAPEX
and OPEX savings, and significant reduction in development time for
end devices. We see a strong need for these capabilities across all
market segments, but with an emphasis where connectivity is now
requisite, such as in industrial, medical, aerospace and
defense.”
Recognized as the industry-leading RTOS, VxWorks has been
re-architected with a highly modular approach leading to the
separation of the VxWorks core operating system from packages such
as the file system or networking stack. As a result, individual
applications can now be updated at any time without requiring a
rework or retest of the entire system, increasing scalability and
the ability to quickly adjust to market changes.
Wind River will be hosting a webcast, titled, “Meeting Today’s
IoT Device Challenges with Virtualization and Consolidation,” this
Wednesday, August 20. For more information and to register for the
