VDC rates Wind River as RTOS and embedded
Linux leader
Wind River has announced that it has been recognized as
the continued real-time operating system (RTOS) and embedded
Linux market leader by VDC Research Group in its 2012 "Embedded/Real-Time
Operating Systems" report. The report covers the global
market for commercially available RTOSes and non-real-time
operating systems and other related bundled products and
services used in embedded applications.
The company says, "In the report, Wind River maintains
its longstanding position as the traditional RTOS market
leader for its portfolio of products and services, and is
recognized as the embedded Linux market leader for its Wind
River Linux platform and related solutions for the fourth
consecutive year". VDC's market research demonstrated
that Wind River led the market for worldwide shipments of
both RTOS and embedded Linux and related services in 2011:
1. For worldwide shipments of traditional RTOSes and related
services, Wind River achieved nearly 40 percent
of total market revenue.
2. For worldwide shipments of Linux and related services,
the company attained more than 50 percent of
total market revenue.
3. In both categories, Wind River's percent of total market
revenue was double that of the closest competitor.
"Recognition as a perennial embedded industry leader
underscores the compelling value of Wind River's products
and services that our customers rely on and is a reflection
of our technology heritage and expertise that spans more
than 30 years," said Ken Klein, president, Wind River.
"It is also a testament to Wind River's commitment
to customer success and ongoing investments to ensure that
our products and services keep pace with both changing market
conditions and diverse customer needs."
