Wind River this week debuted Wind River Studio, a cloud-native platform for the development, deployment, operations, and servicing of mission-critical intelligent systems where security, safety, and reliability are required.
This first release of Studio enables the flexible and efficient deployment, management, and operations of intelligent 5G distributed edge clouds through one single pane of glass.
Studio cloud-native infrastructure software and analytics capabilities address service providers’ complex needs surrounding deployment and management of a physically distributed ultra-low latency, cloud-native infrastructure, said Wind River. These technologies are deployed in Verizon’s 5G network and enabled the world’s first end-to-end fully virtualized 5G data session.
Wind River is a leader in the early 5G landscape, powering the majority of 5G RAN deployments. With the Studio capabilities that are now available, the company addresses service providers’ complex challenge of deploying and managing a physically distributed, ultra-low latency cloud-native infrastructure through one single pane of glass with the following:
- A fully cloud-native, Kubernetes- and container-based architecture for the deployment and management of distributed edge networks at scale.
- Network analytics technology that includes an integrated data collection, monitoring, and reporting tool to optimize the management and operation of a distributed cloud network.
- Core-to-edge orchestration for the efficient management and automation of distributed cloud networks and application services, including the management of containers, network elements, and edge devices.

Verizon has been on the leading edge of virtualizing the network, which provides the foundation for programmability in our network and allows us to speed new services to customers. Virtualizing the entire network from the core to the edge has been a massive, multiyear redesign effort of our network architecture that simplifies and modernizes our entire network.
