INNOVATORS START HERE.Corporate Profile

The trends that have transformed our industry over the last decade will continue to push

the pace of innovation in industries ranging from aerospace and defense to consumer, net-

working to automotive, and industrial to medical. How will competing business and market

demands for speed, performance, power, and low cost impact embedded device manufac-

turers striving for rock-solid safety and security?

For over 30 years, we’ve been an integral part of bringing computing power into the

lives of just about everyone in the world. The global leader in embedded technology,

Wind River® offers the industry’s most comprehensive device development portfolio,

backed by award-winning customer support. Complete vertical platforms built on our mar-

ket-leading real-time operating system and commercial open source solutions enable our

customers to exploit fully the unique advantages of each approach. Companies around the

world trust Wind River as the foundation for their innovation.

WIND RIVER PORTFOLIO: EMBEDDED, OPEN, DIFFERENTIATED

Our real-time operating systems and open source solutions create a foundation for device

manufacturers to develop high-value, differentiated offerings with unparalleled confidence.

As you’d expect, Wind River offers the most advanced tools for innovating on our platforms.

Deep partnerships with key hardware suppliers and a storied history of reliably delivering

robust and dependable technologies, intuitive and powerful development tools and envi-

ronments, and unparalleled support and services ensure we’ll be there to support the entire

• Embedded: The fundamental requirements of the real-time world persist even with

the broad adoption of multi-core processors and the arrival of the cloud. Wind River

has a rich tradition of highly reliable, high-performance, low-latency products for the

embedded market that continues today. VxWorks® offers robust and reliable RTOS

performance, from small memory- and CPU-constrained devices to full 64-bit multi-

core systems for high-end processing, with new and innovative capabilities for con-

nectivity, graphics, and multi-core/multi-OS environments. And Wind River Hypervisor,

an embedded virtualization solution, is engineered for real-time performance.

THE FOUNDATION FOR YOUR INNOVATION

WIND RIVER: FOCUSED ON THE FUTURE OF EMBEDDED

• Safetyandsecurity: Wind River is the leading provider of world-class security expertise and software solutions for con-nected devices, and we’re apply-ing our market-tested experience with certified separation concepts to new markets to mitigate risk and help engineers develop safe and deterministic applications.

• Communications: From the core to the edge, from the access net-work to end-user devices, there is growing demand for next-gen-eration broadband connectivity and real-time multimedia content. Wind River is helping developers get to market faster with products that scale to today’s network as well as tomorrow’s.

• Operatingenvironments: Wind River believes that world-class operating systems are imperative. Regardless of whether a device requires a real-time operating system or an open source embedded solution, we’ve got you covered with proven, market-leading technology and deep expertise.

• Open: Within four years of entering the commercial open source

space for embedded systems, Wind River established itself as the

market leader. With the adoption of the Yocto Project™ as its core

foundation, Wind River Linux 5 is the evolutionary next step for

open source platforms. Wind River has also built a portfolio of

software and testing products to support rapid and high-quality

platform and application development for devices running the

Android operating system. Wind River Workbench, our award-

winning Eclipse-based development environment, offers the

only end-to-end, open standards–based collection of tools for

device software design, development, debugging, test, and

management. Whether your product is fixed or mobile, fast

changing or built to last, Wind River delivers the power and

flexibility of open source without the risks.

• Differentiated: Today’s increasingly sophisticated and increas-

ingly connected embedded systems require more than run-

times and development environments, and Wind River goes

beyond these to offer innovative solutions for capitalizing on

and managing the new complexity.

– WindRiverHypervisor: This Type 1 embedded hypervisor

enables you to retain real-time characteristics while seizing

the performance, footprint, and consolidation benefits of

virtualization.

– WindRiverSimics: Break all the rules of embedded devel-

opment and accelerate every phase of product develop-

ment by placing a virtual target system in the hands of every

engineer on your team.

– Wind River Test Management: Untested code comes

with risk. Pinpointing your exposure is the first step toward

removing the risk of defects appearing post-deployment.

Wind River Test Management—a solution for VxWorks,

Linux, and Android—automatically identifies untested code

and highlights gaps in coverage.

• Outstanding service and support: Wind River Customer

Support delivers 24/7 multilingual support at six support cen-

ters and 21 additional hubs worldwide. Wind River Professional
