Wind River Launches Partner Validation Program Targeting Networking and Telecoms Industry
Based on the growing need for commercial software to play a critical role in emerging next-generation networks, Wind River and its partners will focus on providing pre-integrated platform solutions for infrastructure equipment being developed for broadband wireless, wireline and enterprise networks. These growth segments include 3G, Long Term Evolution (LTE), Femtocell Gateway, WiMax, Metro Ethernet, IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) and enterprise data.
Wind River's software partners will validate the software components and provide testing and commercial support to customers. The primary benefits of such pre-validated solutions are that customers can reduce development, integration, and quality assurance efforts and thereby reduce overall risk while accelerating time-to-market.
"Wind River's Partner Validation Program directly addresses the increasingly important business issues of time-to-market and R&D cost savings among our customers," said Mike Langlois, general manager, Networking and Telecom Industry, Wind River. "As part of our efforts to define and enable the networking industry's software reference platforms, Wind River has hand selected industry leading commercial software companies in critical component spaces to create a preferred strategic relationship with Wind River. This is significant because now our customers can spend significantly less time and effort integrating software components to create a carrier-grade product."
As part of the program, the following partner software will be validated with Wind River’s embedded software operating systems:
- 6WIND: 6WINDGate complete, embedded networking software including Fast path Slow Path and Control Plane for multicore-based designs.
- Continuous Computing: Trillium 3G, LTE, Femtocell Gateway and SS7/SIGTRAN protocol software offering a complete standards-based control plane stack implementation.
- GoAhead Software: SAFfire high availability and management middleware, the leading implementation of the Service Availability Forum open specifications.
- Oracle: Berkeley DB, a transactional embedded data manager and Times Ten, a real-time in-memory database.
- RADVISION: SIP Developer Suite, a highly versatile set of tools to accelerate SIP application development.
- Tail-f Systems: ConfD, an on-device configuration management solution for network equipment.
