Reduce the Costs, Effort, and Risks of Supporting Your Linux Devices
With Wind River Linux and our industry-leading support and maintenance programs, your team can effectively address an array of challenges associated with open source software development.
- Greatly reduce overhead from hidden or variable costs.
- Better manage risks associated with software licenses and code updates.
- Access quality tools to streamline design, testing, and production.
Harness the Best in Open Source Innovation to Build Flexible, Scalable Software
With the Yocto Project open source development infrastructure at its core, Wind River ensures our customers work with the most recent standards and latest code from the open source community.
And we actively support many popular hardware architectures, including ARM®, Intel®, MIPS, and Power.
Adding It Up
Calculate the Cost of Build vs. Buy
Our total cost of ownership (TCO) calculator helps software developers assess the direct and indirect expenses of "rolling your own" Linux software compared to going with the full portfolio of development and maintenance offered by Wind River.
The calculations are based on what our customers have reported. In many cases they have been able to reduce production and maintenance costs by as much as 57 percent and accelerate build cycles by more than 30 percent compared to in-house efforts.
ONGOING SECURITY IS A MUST
You don’t have to be a security expert to keep your Linux devices protected, but you do have to know one.
This basic question should be easy to answer: “Will our Linux be good enough to stay below the return targets for our devices?”
Don’t have a straight answer? Check our estimates and find out how to keep your Linux protected from security breaches even after deployment.
