Wind River Cloud Platform

 
Organizations in enterprise and telecommunications sectors are rethinking how they operate their workloads across distributed cloud environments, from edge locations to centralized data centers. Rising cloud costs, operational complexity, performance concerns, and vendor lock-in are driving the search for more flexible, efficient, and scalable solutions.

 

Wind River® Cloud Platform provides a better way. It’s a commercially supported, enterprise-grade platform built on open technologies including StarlingX, OpenStack, and Kubernetes. Proven in some of the world’s largest mission-critical cloud deployments, the platform delivers high-performance compute with fault-tolerant, resilient architecture. It simplifies deployment and lifecycle management of complex cloud infrastructure , enabling organizations to run virtualized and containerized workloads with ultra-low latency, high availability, and automated operations.
