Wind River Helix Device Cloud Unveiled

Wind River unveiled the latest version of 'Wind River® Helix™ Device Cloud' to strengthen Intel and Wind River's IoT leadership at the 2016 Intel Developer Forum held in San Francisco, USA on the 16th (local time).

The company stated that the newly announced latest version of Device Cloud is the result of the efforts, collaboration, and innovation of various Intel business units, including not only Wind River but also the Intel Security Group and Intel Services Division.

Based on multifaceted collaboration, the more advanced Helix Device Cloud provides capabilities to address the various challenges required for IoT device management. Through this product, Wind River plans to offer differentiation that will enable it to secure a dominant position in the increasingly competitive IoT market.

Device cloud solves the problem of remotely connecting and managing devices. It collects data from hundreds or thousands of various machines, systems, and devices, and enables the operations department to track the status and content of devices while sharing data with engineers to proactively determine when updates are needed.




This latest version includes innovative changes spanning from edge to cloud. Operations teams can now utilize the new user interface to monitor remote devices and interact more seamlessly. Additionally, enhanced agent capabilities strengthen security while providing portability across multiple operating systems.

Furthermore, as a cloud platform, it offers flexible scalability that scales according to the size of device deployments, and maximizes availability by enhancing fault tolerance. In addition, it enables integration with other business systems and cloud applications by providing device management data and commands through event delivery capabilities and a comprehensive set of REST APIs.




As the number of connected devices continues to increase due to IoT, the deployment, monitoring, management, service, update, and decommissioning of these devices are becoming increasingly important. Wind River Helix Device Cloud provides various use cases for this related technology.

As the vision of IoT becomes a reality at an increasingly rapid pace, more companies are seeking ways to leverage the value of data generated during daily operations. In response to these market demands, Wind River supports device manufacturers and IoT solution providers through its Device Cloud, enabling them to accelerate device deployment and bridge the performance gap in real-world IoT operating environments.
