• Enhancements will facilitate cost-saving consolidation of certified and non-certified applications on the same single- or multi-core processor, up to IEC 61508 SIL 3 for industrial systems, CENELEC EN 50128 SIL 4 for transportation systems, and ISO 26262 ASIL-D for automotive applications.

ALAMEDA, Calif. — Feb. 22, 2012 — Wind River, a world leader in embedded and mobile software, today announced enhancements to its VxWorks safety solutions, including safe and secure partitioning via the upcoming version of Wind River Hypervisor, the company’s high-performance embedded hypervisor. The addition of safe and secure partitioning will enable workload consolidation of safety-certified applications alongside Linux and Windows applications on single- and multi-core processors.

Increased safety and security regulations result in more embedded devices being subject to rigorous and expensive certification processes to comply with standards such as IEC 61508 for industrial systems, CENELEC EN 50128 for transportation systems, and ISO 26262 for automotive applications. The safe and secure partitioning capability is designed and implemented for safety certification and decoupling the lifecycle of certified and non-certified applications. This provides the option for increased innovation of the non-certified applications and reduces ongoing system certification costs while enabling the benefits of consolidation such as reduced device size, weight and power consumption.

“Safe and secure partitioning will extend Wind River’s heritage in certified systems and will enable many valuable usage scenarios across regulated industries like energy, automation, transportation, medical and automotive market segments,” said Cory Bialowas, vice president of embedded virtualization product management at Wind River. “For example, industrial companies will be able to leverage existing certified software while innovating with enhanced applications based on Linux and Windows.”

In addition to its safety-certifiable features, the upcoming release of Wind River Hypervisor will provide high-performance device sharing, including shared access to 3D accelerated graphics among multiple guest operating systems. This will allow for innovative in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems that implement “sandboxing” techniques; for example, a Linux-based GENIVI-compliant partition, such as Wind River Platform for Infotainment, could share the IVI display with an open Linux partition, allowing the vehicle owner to download content and applications without subjecting this content to rigorous safety testing. Additionally, real-time driver-assist capabilities or vehicle bus interfaces could coexist with the Linux partitions, providing further opportunity to both innovate and reduce the hardware costs of the IVI system.

Wind River will be demonstrating Wind River Hypervisor at Embedded World 2012 in Hall 5, booth No. 334.

Wind River Hypervisor 2.0 is expected to be available the summer of 2012. More information is available at: www.windriver.com/announces/hypervisor-2/.

• Wind River and Sensory Networks demonstrate deep packet inspection (DPI), showcasing how multi-core-optimized software accelerates content inspection and increases security intelligence.
• Operating systems with built-in DPI simplifies the design and complexity of networking and security products, while delivering high performance and scalability.
• Demonstration includes Sensory Networks HyperScan integrated into Wind River Linux optimized for multi-core hardware and the Intel DPDK, operating on an off-the-shelf multi-gigabit platform from Emerson Network Power.

ALAMEDA, Calif. — Feb. 21, 2012 — Wind River, a world leader in embedded and mobile software, is working with Sensory Networks, a leading provider of pattern matching and deep packet inspection (DPI) software acceleration technology, to demonstrate DPI security solutions at Mobile World Congress 2012. The demonstration highlights how a DPI enabled operating system can deliver wire-speed content inspection.

The constant flood of new mobile devices combined with the expansion of 4G networks such as long-term evolution (LTE) has created an explosion of data traffic. Additionally, the rate of security attacks continues to rise, making the need to inspect each packet of data increasingly important. As a result, there is a greater need for network equipment to improve performance of packet throughput and handle data more intelligently and with greater security.

DPI functionality is an essential element for network security applications in order to inspect data streams and packets for malicious content. As malware threats become more sophisticated, network equipment must deliver greater inspection granularity of incoming data, without sacrificing performance. A software-based DPI approach can provide a cost-effective and scalable solution with the flexibility to evolve with the changing demands of the network security market. Unlike traditional firewalls and intrusion detection systems that inspect only packet headers, DPI makes it possible to inspect every header and payload of every packet, providing the basis for a strong security application.

The demonstration integrates Sensory Networks HyperScan with carrier grade Wind River Linux optimized for multi-core hardware and the Intel® Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK). Software and processor hardware were integrated into an off-the-shelf multi-gigabit system provided by Emerson Network Power. By building in HyperScan into Wind River Linux, the demonstration is an example of a single integrated, cost-effective software solution for scanning data content at line rate in network security equipment. The DPI software can accelerate packet performance for functions such as intrusion prevention, antiX, firewall, content filtering, application identification and Unified Threat Management (UTM).

“The rapid expansion of mobile and other connected devices is generating larger and more varied types of data packets that must be prioritized and accelerated in order to deliver a high level of service for a quality user experience. Along with growing data traffic, security attacks and malware also continue to climb,” said Mike Langlois, vice president and general manager of networking and telecommunications at Wind River. "Through DPI technology with Sensory Networks, we are demonstrating how to address the critical need for network security applications to perform more complex content processing and handle more data traffic at a faster rate or risk becoming a bottleneck in the network.”

“It is vital for equipment designers to be able to build-in greater security and intelligence while maintaining high levels of network performance,” said Sab Gosal, chief executive officer for Sensory Networks. “By using HyperScan DPI software technology, networking and security equipment vendors can significantly improve the content scanning performance, intelligence and scalability of their products. The combination of Sensory Networks HyperScan and Wind River Linux, optimized for leading multi-core CPU architectures, demonstrates how robust, carrier grade operating systems can deliver wire-speed content inspection and security.”

Sensory Networks HyperScan is high-speed pattern-matching software intended for integration into networking and security products. Supporting a wide range of applications including IPS/IDS, firewall, DPI and content filtering, the software engine can deliver optimized performance while scanning against databases comprising of hundreds of thousands of signatures. Designed for both single-core and multi-core processors, HyperScan can scale from under 1Gbps up to 160Gbps, depending on the number of cores used. HyperScan streamlines the engineering and design process by enabling equipment vendors to perform a one-time integration into a system release, allowing it to be used for an entire product line as well as upgrade legacy products.
