Unlocking the Full Potential of Cloud-to-Edge with a New Linux Approach

Real-time operating systems power billions of critical devices across the globe, from planes and cars to household appliances. However, evaluating a real-time operating system (RTOS) can be difficult. We will review the critical uses of an RTOS and how to determine whether it is the right fit for your embedded application.

You will learn:
What an RTOS is
Which features of an operating system will impact your end goal
How to evaluate options to determine the best fit for your application

Evaluating an RTOS for Your Embedded Application

Several pain points arise in discussions of edge applications: The heterogeneity of the edge makes it complicated to orchestrate; and security, scalability, application deployment, and feature updates all need to be addressed.

The infrastructure market and cloud service providers (CSPs) have adopted cloud-native best practices in software development and in building workflows and tooling that help reduce these complexities and improve quality.

You will learn:
The benefits that cloud integrations can offer
The ways developers can leverage tools to improve application deployments

Open RAN and the Energy Efficient Imperative

Analysys Mason surveyed more than 60 operators worldwide and found a significant positive shift in confidence and focus regarding Open RAN capabilities. 

Many of the issues related to performance and total cost of ownership (TCO) uncertainty, previously the biggest barriers to Open RAN adoption, are being effectively addressed, and operators are confident that all major challenges facing the technology will be overcome. 

Join this discussion with Analysys Mason, Intel , and Wind River   to unpack some of the highlights from this study.

You will learn:
- The 11 commercial objectives operators expect Open RAN to deliver better than legacy RAN — and the one they don’t 
- The significance of 8 key vRAN capabilities in supporting operators’ top commercial objectives 
- Why 41% of operators would prefer to start commercial Open RAN or vRAN deployments sooner than originally planned 
- Strategies operators can adopt to roll out Open RAN sooner, with less risk

Embarking on 2024: Embedded Trends and Wind River Insights

Containerization revolutionizes software deployment by packaging applications and their dependencies into portable, isolated units called containers. In fact, according to Enterprise Strategy Group research, 77% of organizations state they support eleven to more than twenty containers per hosts in their environments. When applied to embedded systems, this technology streamlines resource-efficient deployment, enabling seamless application management across diverse devices.  Deployment of containers into embedded platforms comes with security risks and attacks including remote code executions, man-in-the-middle attacks, and privilege escalation.  Thwarting these types of attacks necessitates meticulous attention to developer practices and deployment strategies to ensure comprehensive container security. 
 What you will learn:
• Fundamentals of containers and their adoption on embedded systems
• Security risks surrounding embedded container technology
• Tips for securing containers from development to deployment on embedded systems

Secure Your Embedded Containers from Cloud to Edge
