“One of the key drivers behind network transformation is the adoption of
COTS-based hardware designed to help operators reduce total cost of
ownership and shorten the time needed to upgrade or deploy new services.
Wind River Carrier Grade Communications Server was designed to run on HP
servers and has been pre-tested, validated and supported on a number of
HP platforms created specifically for telecom and NFV applications. This
joint effort will help customers embrace an NFV environment that
provides the flexibility needed to keep quality and cost in check.”

“The technical contributions by Wind River to BT’s network evolution
research were highly valuable and the results achieved helped to
crystalize BT’s NFV thinking. Wind River understands the Carrier Grade
environment, and their expertise played a significant role in the
success of our NFV proof-of-concept prototypes. Our open collaboration
with Wind River and other technology leaders has clearly demonstrated to
the industry that the promise of NFV can be realized.”

Clarke, Head of Network Evolution Innovation, BT
“NFV plays a key role in our effort to transform networks into open,
virtualized, standards-based architectures. The Wind River Carrier Grade
Communications Server employs key technologies consistent with the Intel
Open Network Platform Server Reference Design such as Intel DPDK and
OpenStack. Wind River has the telecommunications expertise to help our
customers and ISV partners deliver outstanding solutions for SDN and
NFV. Their technology demonstrates a powerful, high performance and
flexible element to building the next generation of open,
software-defined infrastructure.”

President and General Manager, Intel Communications and Storage
Infrastructure Group
“The telecommunications industry is changing to tap the potential of
cloud environments and network functions virtualization, and
increasingly looking to open infrastructures and standards in order to
achieve this. As a long time champion for Linux innovation and
instrumental supporter for the Yocto Project, Wind River plays a key
role in helping the open source community and telecommunications
industry achieve new levels of innovation.”
- Mike Woster,
Chief Operating Officer, The Linux Foundation
The telecommunications network is at the start of a major
transformation. The industry is looking towards NFV to enable service
providers to transform their networks to quickly deliver new services
and reduce costs. Service agility is key. The migration to NFV requires
telecom specific virtualization software to deliver real time traffic,
scale to hundreds of millions of users, and support high reliability.
Wind River has the telecommunications and carrier grade expertise to
help companies move towards NFV and address the challenges of a changing
network.”
