Wind River®, a world leader in delivering software for
intelligent connected systems, today announced that it has enhanced
and expanded its Wind River Helix product portfolio to address the
system-level opportunities and challenges of the Internet of Things
(IoT). In addition, the company has created an IoT professional
services offering to assist customers with the creation and
deployment of IoT applications.
Wind River has added application and data services in the cloud
to its industry-leading operating systems and IoT software platform
via Wind River Edge Management System, its recently launched
cloud-based technology stack that is an integral part of the Intel®
IoT Platform. The Edge Management System agent has been integrated
with VxWorks® real-time operating system (RTOS), Wind River Linux,
and Wind River Intelligent Device Platform.
The agents bring secure cloud connectivity to Wind River
products to facilitate data capture, rules-based data analysis and
response, configuration, and file transfer. Specifically, these
integrations provide device-level execution capabilities, remote
management and provisioning capabilities at the gateway, as well as
cloud-based delivery of software updates. This allows for seamless
interaction with edge devices and simplified device-side
application development.
To complement its new IoT-enabled product portfolio, Wind River
now has an IoT professional services offering to bring IoT concepts
to critical infrastructure and other markets where safety and
security are imperatives. The new offering will assist customers in
configuring IoT systems and getting them to market faster with
reduced risk and lower cost of ownership. Services include an IoT
startup package, device agent configuration, application/agent
interfacing, cloud applications development, and IoT safety and
security requirements support.
Further expanding its operating system suite, Wind River has
also announced the availability of Microkernel Profile for VxWorks.
The microkernel profile is a tiny-footprint RTOS to facilitate the
creation of IoT-ready differentiated devices, such as sensor hubs,
microcontrollers, and wearables, as well as High Performance
Embedded Computing (HPEC) platforms to address intensive data
processing. It is based on proven digital signal processing RTOS
technology deployed in countless applications.
These product additions and enhancements are the latest in a
series of IoT-related updates to the company’s operating system
suite, which include Security Profile for VxWorks, Virtualization
Profile for VxWorks, and Security Profile for Wind River Linux.
“By adding IoT-specific capabilities to our software platforms,
coupled with specialized services expertise, Wind River continues
to differentiate its product portfolio and offers companies the key
building blocks to enable both the connectivity of 'brownfield'
legacy industrial devices and the next generation of 'greenfield'
IoT infrastructure,” said Jim Douglas, senior vice president of
marketing at Wind River. “Our end-to-end product portfolio not only
helps our customers build safe, secure, and connected intelligent
systems and networks, it also allows them to harness the
intelligence in those systems and networks to drive business
optimization and transformation.”
Wind River Helix, the comprehensive portfolio of Wind River
products, enables IoT advancements from the secure and managed
intelligent devices at the edge, through gateways, across the
network, and up into the cloud. To learn more about how Wind River
