Business Wire
Wind River, a world leader in embedded and mobile software,
announced support, training and services for the development of
applications based on the Intel® Data Plane Development Kit (Intel®
DPDK). These offerings are immediately available to customers
developing on any Linux operating system to help them create
cost-effective, high-performance networking solutions based on the
latest Intel® processors.
4G networks and the constant flood of mobile devices have
contributed to an ongoing data traffic explosion. Network equipment
providers must deliver greater packet throughput and handle data
more intelligently in order to accommodate a relentlessly stressed
network. The combination of Intel multi-core platforms and the
Intel DPDK, a set of data plane libraries designed for high-speed
networking, can achieve high levels of packet processing. Wind
River Linux is currently fully integrated with Intel DPDK for
built-in high-performance optimizations for fast packet
processing.
“Communications equipment makers are under pressure to create
devices that can handle the strain of today’s data intensive
networks. Intel DPDK delivers strong packet processing capabilities
from Intel-based processors,” said Glenn Seiler, senior director of
product management at Wind River. “When customers combine the fast
packet delivery of Intel DPDK with protocols such as IPsec and
applications like deep packet inspection (DPI), they can create
high performance solutions for a broad set of network elements,
security appliances, mobile and broadband edge devices. Companies
can now take advantage of Wind River’s expertise with Intel DPDK
whether they are developing on Wind River Linux or any Linux
distribution of their choice.”
“We reported up to a 30% performance boost when our Sensory
Networks HyperScan DPI software was used with Intel DPDK integrated
with Wind River Linux, compared to the same tests without Intel
DPDK,” said Sab Gosal, chief executive officer for Sensory
Networks. “With Wind River Linux optimized for Intel DPDK and
multi-core Intel architecture, our HyperScan software delivers
wire-speed DPI while providing greater network security and
inspection intelligence. This integrated solution creates a
compelling proposition for network equipment suppliers looking to
build out their DPI functionality with ease and a rapid time to
market.”
Wind River helps customers build, integrate and manage their
Intel DPDK solutions with customized services and support. Wind
River services for Intel DPDK include architecture consulting,
design and integration, protocol porting, performance tuning and
validation. Wind River’s support offerings for Intel DPDK include
standard and premium support. Premium support includes a dedicated
team of managers and engineers, service level agreements, detailed
reports and extensive onsite coaching assistance. Wind River Test
Management and Wind River Simics simulation tools also work
seamlessly with the Intel DPDK and Wind River Linux as well as many
other Linux distributions. Wind River can also provide trainer-led
education courses with hands-on labs covering Intel DPDK APIs and
configurations. More information is available at

"The Intel® Data Plane Development Kit is able to deliver new
levels of packet processing performance,” said Stephen Price,
director of marketing, Communications Infrastructure Division at
Intel. “Wind River offers complete lifecycle solutions such as
development, support, services and integration for the Intel® DPDK
which helps customers consolidate workloads and enable high
performance packet processing on Intel® architecture.”
With more than 150 engineers possessing on average over 10 years
of device software experience, in support centers across the globe,
Wind River has one of the largest support organizations in the
embedded industry. Wind River has achieved Service Capability and
Performance (SCP) certification, the gold standard for outstanding
customer support. Wind River was also recognized with a 2012
MarketTools ACE Award, honoring its achievement in customer
satisfaction for worldwide support.
Additionally, Wind River and Intel have created an embedded
development kit, which includes Wind River Linux optimized for
Intel DPDK and the latest generation of Intel® Xeon® processors, to
assist in the rapid development of data plane applications. The
Intel DPDK is packaged for a Wind River build environment and fully
integrated with Wind River Workbench development tools. Information
