Wind River Products

Wind River Hypervisor brings a new level of flexibility to the development of embedded devices. It opens up new opportunities for cost savings through hardware consolidation; it allows developers to leverage multiple operating systems in a single device so they can expand and enhance device functionality; it facilitates the adoption of multicore processors by increasing reliability and reducing risk; and it provides the new software configuration options required to architect next-generation embedded devices.

An integral part of Wind River's Multicore Software Solution, Wind River Hypervisor focuses on core real-time values such as high performance, small footprint, determinism, low latency, and high reliability. It is highly optimized for and integrated with VxWorks and Wind River Linux, and it supports other operating systems and a broad range of processor architectures.

For developers who are building highly differentiated embedded devices, Wind River Hypervisor offers compelling new capabilities. Now you can build more functionality into smaller form factors, build more scalable and reliable multicore systems, and consolidate with confidence—with all the efficiencies of a unified development environment and a single-vendor solution.
