Virtualization for Embedded Systems: A Bridge to the Future

Virtualization has been a common practice in enterprise IT for years. Now, it is evolving to become a natural solution for embedded systems.

Burgeoning trends like autonomous automobiles, the Internet of Things (IoT), and increasingly sophisticated industrial and manufacturing devices, machines and systems are forcing change in the world of embedded systems. The old, purpose-built, closed legacy architectures are giving way to a fluid, software-defined, and connected approach.

Virtualization has been a common practice in enterprise IT for years. Now, it is evolving to become a natural solution for embedded systems. Wind River® HelixTM Virtualization Platform is designed specifically to enable this evolution, offering a single platform that will run essentially any embedded system, old or new.
