Largely based on hardware and operating cost savings, the business case for network virtualisation also depends on the expectations of greater flexibility and productivity. But how can operators of critical infrastructure be certain that their newly virtualised networks will deliver these benefits? A big factor in determining the overall cost savings of a virtualisation project is network operations.

Although it has been with us in some form and under different names for many years, the IoT is now suddenly the thing.

The security risks of IoT are well publicised from DDoS attacks and botnets to threats not yet known.

As we continue towards a more connected and autonomous future, designing a car is increasingly about creating quality experiences; and software is at the centre of enabling that reality. Driven by intelligent software, these experiences must make going from point A to point B safe, secure, efficient, entertaining and convenient, and ultimately, autonomously. The current acceleration of new technologies is leading to unprecedented change...

The line between what is considered technology for telecommunications vs industrial control and other operations technology applications is becoming blurry. Software is being used in more instances across more industries because it provides a level of flexibility and cost savings like we’ve never seen before. Guest blog written by Jeff Gowan.

Modern real time operating systems (RTOSes) provide the basic building blocks for many applications.

Once critical infrastructure operators decide to virtualise network functions and applications, getting started can seem daunting even for the most advanced IT teams. If the project overruns the budget or schedule, anticipated cost savings and efficiency gains can dwindle and undermine the original business case for virtualisation.

In previous blog posts about future proofing an IoT deployment, the top 2 takeaways from discussions at the Industry of Things event in San Diego were covered.  Guest blog written by Tom Gibbings. 

As software is playing an increasingly important role for automobiles, it is important that we monitor the connectivity and security issues that come with it. It is estimated that approximately 50% of a vehicle’s value will be derived from its software’s capabilities and the richer experiences resulting from them. Guess blog written by Marques McCammon.

The Future of Humanity Institute recently followed up on last year’s survey about AI exceeding human performance in a variety of tasks, with a report titled: ‘The Malicious Use of Artificial Intelligence: Forecasting, Prevention, and Mitigation.’ Guest blog written by Mychal McCabe.

Wind River is pleased to announce the introduction of the Wind River Acceleration Program designed to expedite customers’ return on their software investment and drive successful technology adoption. Guest blog written by Amit Ronen.

If you were not aware, a few days ago 9th April was Global IoT Day, and it was actually the seventh year of this ‘holiday’ which saw plenty to celebrate. Guest blog written by Tom Gibbings.

In applications such as industrial control and telecom the business-level benefits of virtualisation are becoming more understood. Companies worldwide have analysed real-world use cases and concluded that major savings in lifetime operational costs are achievable by deploying software-based, virtualised systems compatible with open standards, instead of traditional fixed-function physical equipment based on proprietary, vertically integrated...

The last 40 years has seen Parkeon become a global leader in urban mobility technology. It has continuously built on its core expertise in parking payment solutions with the multi-space parking meters, mobile phone payment, ticket vending machines, fare collection devices, and fare validation. Now the French company has an installed base of some 200,000 meters in 3,500 cities and 55 countries.

The Linux Foundation’s has announced its expansions to the recently introduced Akraino Edge Stack open-source project, which represents a significant milestone in the journey towards the adoption of virtualised applications and services throughout telecom networks.

The word everyone loves and cannot get enough of… IoT! The continuously discussed term Internet of Things is getting redefined again. The promise of workload consolidation at the edge and things levels is disrupting the role of cloud in IoT. How did we get here? Guest blog from Wind River.

When choosing a complier for automotive applications, it can be difficult ensuring you chose the correct one, and if you chose the wrong one this can lead to a lot of pain and frustration. It could also lead to your product not working or not being able to meet appropriate safety certifications. Sounds dire? It doesn’t have to be that way. Guest blog written by Kumar Senthil and Liviu Caraman from the Connected Vehicle team at Wi...
