When it matters,
Whether it's enabling intelligent systems for space exploration and commercial aircraft, advancing autonomous driving, keeping global networks connected, or supporting life-saving medical devices, Wind River software provides the assurance needed for mission-critical operations.
Built forwhat can't fail
Mission-critical reliability
Security and safety are built into how our platforms are designed, certified, and maintained — not added after deployment.
Security, safety, and compliance
Security and safety are built into how our platforms are designed, certified, and maintained — not added after deployment.
Operational efficiency and lifecycle acceleration
Wind River gives teams the automation and visibility to build, test, deploy, update, and manage applications across the full system lifecycle.
Solutions for what's next
IT/OT Convergence
Legacy embedded systems and enterprise IT operate in silos — complicating management, weakening security, and slowing digital initiatives. Wind River bridges OT and IT with unified platforms and lifecycle tools that deliver consistent governance across both domains.
AI at the Intelligent Edge
AI inference is moving closer to where data is created and action must happen. Wind River provides the safest, most reliable environment to run AI workloads at the edge — with deterministic control where it matters and clear isolation from safety-critical paths.
Cloud-Native Transformation
Containers and Kubernetes are reaching the edge, but migrating mission-critical workloads demands more than lift-and-shift. Wind River delivers production-grade cloud-native infrastructure proven across thousands of distributed sites — with safe migration paths from legacy virtualization.
Open Architectures
Vendor lock-in limits flexibility and slows innovation. Wind River's platforms are built on open-source foundations — Linux, Kubernetes, OpenStack, StarlingX — delivering carrier-grade reliability and supply-chain transparency without proprietary constraints.
HW/SW Decoupling & Mixed Criticality
Diverse silicon (x86, Arm, RISC-V) and growing workload complexity demand hardware abstraction. Wind River's Helix Virtualization Platform isolates safety-critical and feature-rich domains on shared hardware — consolidating systems while preserving certification and performance.
Unified Cloud-to-Edge Orchestration
Edge sites are evolving into multi-tenant, software-defined environments running complex workloads far from the data center. Wind River enables distributed edge cloud operations with fleet orchestration, telemetry, analytics, and secure OTA updates — managed from a single pane of glass.

Case Studies
NETWORK RESILIENCE
Keep 5G services available when it matters
A global service provider runs cloud‑native 5G on Wind River across thousands of sites, boosting resilience and keeping critical customer and emergency communications online when it matters most.
MISSION‑CRITICAL SPACE SYSTEMS
Powering Artemis II from launch to safe return
For NASA's Artemis II mission, Aptiv used Wind River VxWorks to power real‑time control functions on the Orion crew vehicle, enabling deterministic operations from launch to safe crew return.
SOVERIGN CLOUD OPERATIONS
Modernize and migrate with sovereign control
A global enterprise runs ServiceNow Private Stack on Wind River to modernize and migrate VMs off legacy platforms, unify service operations, and simplify governance across sovereign and disconnected environments.
EDGE AI DECISIONS
Turn plant data into real‑time decisions
Manufacturers use Wind River edge platforms to turn plant data into real‑time decisions, detect issues earlier, respond faster, and keep critical production lines running in cloud‑sensitive or air‑gapped environments.
