Wind Rivera, leader in embedded software for intelligent connected systems, introduces its latest version of open source, real-time virtualization software which offers improved throughput and latency times, delivering near-native hardware performance speeds. Wind Rivera's open virtualization, a multi-core-enabled kernel virtualization technology comes with enhanced live migration capabilities and expanded guest OS support to further enable network functions virtualization (NFV). According to Wind River, the Type 2 hypervisor which is built on a Yocto Project based infrastructure, has near-native hardware performance speeds and greater cross-platform compatibility and interoperability.
"As new devices continue to connect to an increasingly strained network, next-generation telecom equipment must scale to support technologies such as cloud and NFV in order to meet rising data traffic demands and address new service deployment challenges," said Davide Ricci, product line manager for open source platforms at Wind River. "With Wind River Open Virtualization, customers can achieve real-time, carrier grade virtualization to roll out services anywhere on the network and boost network efficiency while significantly lowering operational costs. Operators can have greater flexibility and scalability to quickly introduce new services as needed by taking advantage of a virtualized or cloud environment with the added benefit of consolidation on standardized hardware."
