Wind River has a broad customer base that includes companies
from diverse industries such as communications, aerospace and
defense, automotive, industrial and medical. The company has
expanded beyond its original real-time operating system business
and has moved up the stack of the IoT chain. It is addressing
a massive opportunity to enable and secure the IoT as connectivity
becomes ubiquitous, and embedded devices dominate critical
networking infrastructures. Wind River was acquired by
Intel® in 2009 and is part of Intel's Internet of Things
Group.
"Leveraging its more than 30 years of embedded leadership, and
role as a pioneer in the Internet of Things, Wind River has stepped
up to support a new kind of interconnectedness where millions of
new devices will not just connect to the network, but share data
with other devices and machines," said Stratecast | Frost &
Sullivan Research Analyst Tim
McElligott. "Device Cloud will be one of the most immediate
requirements for the IoT to become a reality. Wind River's
strategy, products and partnerships all show real innovation in
support of the future of businesses across market segments."
Wind River stands out for executing a cloud-based platform for
device management that allows organizations to quickly, securely,
and efficiently unlock machine data by connecting to IT networks
and analytics environments, helping improve operational
efficiencies and boosting strategic insights. Device Cloud
additionally enables a rich set of device-side actuation
capabilities to close the loop of that actionable insight, through
a control plane that is separate from the data plane. Competitors
have rarely taken an embedded technology approach to edge and
device management; they still rely on software and hardware probes
in the network to gather data. Device Cloud is an integral part of
the Intel IoT Platform.
With Device Cloud, Wind River is taking a next-generation
systems approach to address the enterprise market in its use of
representational state transfer-conforming (RESTful) application
programming interfaces (APIs). Such APIs help developers or
enterprises themselves create vertical-specific IoT solutions and
integrate disparate IT systems. Other features include:
- Remote device management and diagnostics across networks;
- On-device security that supports white listing and data
integrity protection; and
- Remote capture of sensor and system health data for IoT.
For its overall IoT focus and innovation, Stratecast is pleased
to present Wind River with the 2015 Stratecast Global Technology
Innovation Award for Operations Management of Emerging IoT
Technologies.
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the
company that has demonstrated uniqueness in developing and
leveraging new technologies that significantly impact both the
functionality and the customer value of the new products and
applications. The award lauds the high R&D spend toward
innovation, its relevance to the industry and the positive impact
on brand perception.
