ALAMEDA, CA — April 20, 2009 — Wind River (NASDAQ: WIND) today announced that the VxWorks MILS Platform 2.0 is officially listed as “In Evaluation” by the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) for conformance to the Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) 6+ / NSA High Robustness under the Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme (CCEVS).

Operated by the National Security Agency (NSA), accredited laboratories perform security testing in accordance with the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme, helping to improve the level of trust consumers have in their information systems and networks through security testing, evaluation and validation programs. An EAL6+ / NSA High Robustness-certified operating system could be the base of a multilevel secure system that protects high-value resources and classified information against significant risks. For this evaluation, Wind River has selected CygnaCom Solutions Inc., a Common Criteria Test Lab, to conduct the independent evaluation of the VXWorks MILS Platform 2.0.

Wind River’s VxWorks MILS Platform 2.0 is the latest addition to the industry-leading VxWorks portfolio of products, demonstrating Wind River’s commitment to the safety and security needs of the aerospace and defense industry. VxWorks MILS Platform 2.0 provides customers with a robust operating system foundation and an award-winning development environment to build multilevel secure (MLS) systems. In addition, the platform offers a VxWorks application environment, allowing customers who have used VxWorks in the past to leverage their time-tested in-house experts as well as legacy VxWorks application code within their new multilevel secure system.

“Wind River is committed to delivering software that is designed to comply with the stringent security criteria our customers need,” said Marc Brown, vice president of VxWorks marketing at Wind River. “The NIAP listing enables companies who are building secure military and aerospace systems to engage with Wind River confident that VxWorks MILS Platform 2.0 is undergoing the rigorous evaluation under the CCEVS to Common Criteria EAL6+.”

ATLANTA, GA — April 16, 2009 — Wind River (NASDAQ: WIND) today announced the donation of 4,000 licenses for its VxWorks platform and Wind River Workbench to the 2009 FIRST™ (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition. The donated software was provided to 1,680 teams comprising 42,000 high school students, giving them the opportunity to work in a real industrial development environment as they built robots for the 2009 competition season. The FIRST Robotics Competition Championship begins today in Atlanta, GA, with 349 competing teams.

“We are thrilled with Wind River’s VxWorks donation to the robotics competition,” commented Bill Miller, director, FIRST Robotics Competition. “Providing high school students with the opportunity to tackle real-world issues in robotic design is critical to our mission of helping inspire the next generation of innovators and engineers.”

Longtime industrial customer and collaborator National Instruments chose VxWorks as the provider of the C programming software that can be used to program the National Instruments CompactRIO control and data acquisition system adopted by the FIRST Robotics Competition. Wind River’s software was selected based on its ability to improve and accelerate the development of software on industrial applications, as well as to provide students with a real-world development environment. All 1,680 registered robots include Wind River’s VxWorks platform on the CompactRIO.

“We have been impressed by the robust platform that Wind River offers and its ability to help speed time-to-development and reduce cost for the FIRST teams who program CompactRIO using the C programming software,” said Joel Sumner, senior software group manager at National Instruments. “It seemed only natural that we collaborate with them on the solution that we provided to FIRST.”

The FIRST Robotics Competition challenges teams of high school students and their mentors to build robots in a six-week timeframe using a standard set of software and parts. By using the VxWorks platform, students gain the same advantages as Wind River’s industrial customers including decreased development time, debugging/tuning capabilities and a proven, robust real-time operating system rich in supportive middleware components.

“Through this donation, Wind River joins FIRST in its mission to inspire young people to become science and technology leaders,” said Warren Kurisu, senior director of product management, VxWorks Product Division, Wind River. “This continues our commitment at Wind River to helping educate and spark the inventiveness of a new generation of scientists.”

The FIRST Robotics Competition Championship is the culmination of the students’ 2009 season and takes place on April 16—18, 2009 at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. Students garner valuable hands-on learning in science, technology, engineering and math. More information can be found at http://www.usfirst.org/.

ALAMEDA, CA — April 14, 2009 — Wind River (NASDAQ: WIND) today announced that it will support the OCTEON II Processors from Cavium Networks (NASDAQ: CAVM), a leading provider of semiconductor products that enable intelligent processing for networking, communications, storage, wireless, video and security applications. Wind River’s comprehensive set of Multicore Software solutions will be optimized for the OCTEON II multicore MIPS64 processor, and the combined solutions will target packet processing intensive applications.

The recently announced Cavium Networks’ next-generation OCTEON II Internet Application Processor (IAP) family is designed for the next generation of Hypernetworks serving enterprise, data center, access and service provider markets which require support for converged data, voice and video. The OCTEON II target applications include switches, routers, appliances, equipment for 3G, WiMAX, LTE, wireless LAN, and unified storage systems and adapters. The OCTEON II family integrates 1 to 32 MIPS64 cores; up to 75 Application Acceleration Engines for quality of service, packet processing, TCP, compression, encryption, RAID, de-duplication and regular expression processing; up to 400Gbps of DDR3 memory bandwidth; and up to 100Gbps of network connectivity while consuming only 2W to 60W across the entire family.

“Wind River and Cavium Networks have a long-standing partnership and are committed to delivering an optimized hardware and software platform that provides industry-leading packet processing performance,” said Rajiv Khemani, vice president and general manager of the Networking and Communications Division at Cavium Networks. “Through this partnership, we expect to reduce our customers’ time-to-market and overall project risk, and help customers realize the performance improvements of next-generation multicore processors.”

Wind River’s comprehensive set of Multicore Software solutions deliver a flexible set of multicore software configurations, including Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP), Asymmetric Multiprocessing (AMP) and virtualization; Wind River Workbench, an award-winning, Eclipse-based collection of tools for optimizing multicore software design; and industry leading operating systems VxWorks and Wind River Linux.

“Wind River expects that OCTEON II will accelerate the growth of emerging Hyper-network applications and achieve superior gains in performance, power and cost savings,” said John Bruggeman, chief marketing officer at Wind River. “Wind River is advancing its strategic partnership with Cavium Networks to offer broad support of OCTEON II across its comprehensive set of Multicore Software solutions in order to help customers realize the full potential of their multicore-based applications.”

Earlier in 2009, Wind River introduced VxWorks 6.7 with significant enhancements that enable device manufacturers to address critical business issues by exploiting the capabilities of the latest multicore processors. System designers can select the optimal multicore design configuration, AMP or SMP, to deliver next-generation devices with higher performance thresholds while maintaining or reducing power consumption. Wind River’s integrated development tools, Workbench and Workbench for On-Chip Debugging, offer advanced prototyping, analysis, diagnostics, and test capabilities for the OCTEON processor. Further, Wind River’s advanced networking technologies include network offload capabilities that have been optimized for the OCTEON family of processors.
