“This partnership formalizes a close collaboration that we have had with Wind River. It allows us to develop synergies along with new solutions such as turn-key systems for high-performance embedded computing,” said Thales Computers CEO, Alain Albarello. “We have recently discovered a great deal of synergy between our product lines and want to progress aggressively along that path. Wind River’s tools and OS technologies, combined with Thales’ low-level management solutions and turn-key hardware platforms, create a revolutionary approach to embedded VME board systems.”

“In the defense market where the COTS user often needs to talk to multiple suppliers to solve complex support or technology insertion issues, this type of partnership is the foundation from which more integrated long-term support services between suppliers can be built,” added Albarello.
