The targets in the company's cross hairs for the recently introduced Wind River Intelligent Network Platform are equipment providers who—in the face of exploding traffic—are in need of powerful building blocks to help them build faster, smarter and safer networks. The solution is designed to deliver improved network intelligence, security and speed, and the scalability to support the move to software-defined networking. Wind River claims a 1100% improvement in IP-forwarding and up to a 500% improvement in throughput for UDP and performance boost for TCP. Wind River Intelligent Network Platform is composed of software that manages a consolidated control and data plane system, as well as software engines that provide fast packet acceleration and content inspection. Additional engines for specialized needs, such as accelerated traffic flow-classification, will follow. The platform comes configured with Wind River Linux and a comprehensive suite of integrated development tools.
