When it matters,
it runs on Wind River.
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
Wind River platforms deliver the determinism, availability, and performance that mission-critical systems demand.
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
Image
Unified Operations Across IT and OT
Legacy embedded systems and enterprise IT still operate in silos—complicating management, weakening security, and slowing digital initiatives. Wind River unifies IT and OT with platforms and lifecycle tools that deliver consistent governance, observability, and orchestration across cloud, data center, and edge environments.
Image
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.
Image
Cloud Platform Modernization
Modernizing cloud platforms takes more than replacing virtualization. Organizations need a flexible platform that supports VMs, containers, and distributed edge environments. Wind River delivers production-proven infrastructure, unified operations, and a path to AI readiness.
Image
Software-Defined Platforms & Mixed-Criticality Consolidation
Software-defined platforms are transforming embedded systems by decoupling software from underlying hardware. Across x86, Arm, and RISC-V architectures, mixed-criticality workloads can safely coexist on shared compute resources, enabling system consolidation while maintaining isolation, certification readiness, and deterministic performance.

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.
