Digital information is moving into our lives at an accelerating rate, exemplified by the explosion of cell phones, web-based telephony, home networks, and Internet appliances. Because of the tremendous Wind River value chain, it was extremely important for us to leverage the proven successes of our product line, our services capabilities, and our unmatched partner community so that our customers can achieve demanding high availability requirements and still meet their market windows. The first commercial version of Cirrus is scheduled to ship this fall. A diverse selection of Wind River optional products such as advance networking protocols and embedded visualization development tools will also be available for Cirrus. About Wind River Wind River is a worldwide leader in embedded software.
Wind River is how smart things think.
Founded in 1983, Wind River is headquartered in Alameda, California, with operations in fifteen countries worldwide. We anticipate Cirrus and its HA technology will be a powerful developer asset in building connected reprogrammable embedded systems. Wind River's new Cirrus platform strikes an ideal balance between memory protection and the high performance levels associated with un-protected development platforms. GoAhead's high availability software will leverage and extend Cirrus' benefits by enabling manufacturers to develop robust systems that meet the stringent reliability and availability demands placed on them by their customers. We are delighted to be working with Wind River to help enable an entire generation of new, self-reliant devices built on this innovative technology.
