Wind River has officially introduced eLxr Pro, a cutting-edge enterprise Linux solution tailored for cloud-to-edge deployments. This new addition to Wind River’s Linux product lineup offers long-term support for the open-source eLxr project, specifically designed to meet the performance needs of industries like autonomous vehicles, aerospace, energy, finance, and more.

eLxr Pro is built to support near and far-edge computing, processing data close to its source for applications like AI inference, machine learning, and autonomous operations. With its focus on containerized applications and orchestration, it also seamlessly integrates with public cloud environments and intelligent edge devices. Based on the Debian-based eLxr project, the solution ensures a secure and optimized performance with a minimal footprint, catering to industries that require both high computing power and efficiency.

In addition to supporting cloud-native applications, eLxr Pro is designed to leverage Intel’s Gaudi AI accelerator technology, which makes it suitable for high-performance computing environments across various enterprise and edge scenarios.

Wind River’s commitment to the open-source eLxr project is evident, as the company plans to introduce further hardware support and cloud-native features in future updates. This robust solution is ideal for enterprises looking to deploy innovative near-edge and server solutions with the security and reliability of professional enterprise support.

Avijit Sinha, President of Wind River, emphasized the importance of an open-source solution that is not corporate-controlled but is still backed by a trusted provider. He added, "eLxr Pro provides the industry with a high-performance, secure, and easy-to-use open-source option, allowing companies to innovate with confidence, knowing it’s supported by professional services."
