Wind River Systems to Sell Real-Time Innovations Products RTI to Participate in New Wind River Direct Program SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Real-Time Innovations, Inc. (RTI) and Wind River Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: WIND) today announced that RTI's ControlShell(R) and NDDS(TM) products will be sold worldwide by Wind River's sales force through the new Wind River Direct(TM) program. The Wind River Direct Program offers embedded developers "one-stop" integrated solutions. ControlShell and NDDS complement Wind River's VxWorks(R) real-time operating system (RTOS) to provide complete solutions for developers building complex real-time systems. The RTI - Wind River partnership has been long and successful. RTI's innovative StethoScope data monitor was the first third-party tool resold by Wind River. Today, StethoScope is one of Wind River's leading OEM products, used by thousands of sites worldwide. RTI PerformancePak, a new bundle of performance tools including memory analysis and execution profiling, was added earlier this year. StethoScope and PerformancePak are two of the most popular Wind Power Tools. "We're excited to offer ControlShell and NDDS through Wind River Direct," commented Stan Schneider, CEO of Real-Time Innovations, Inc. "This program recognizes the tight integration between our products and Wind River's operating systems. The worldwide Wind River sales force can now offer validated, integrated solutions for complex control systems (ControlShell) and distributed real-time systems (NDDS)." Tracy Butler, Wind River's Director of Strategic Programs, added, "RTI's products are a key part of the Wind River Direct program. NDDS and ControlShell combined with the Tornado(TM) platform are powerful, complete solutions for military/aerospace, medical, telecomm/datacomm, industrial control and automation developers. We're proud to provide these products as an integrated solution with the VxWorks RTOS and the Tornado platform to our customers worldwide." ControlShell(R) ControlShell is the "Tool for Intelligent Control." ControlShell lets talented programmers and engineers build complex intelligent control and simulation systems. It brings modern software structuring to control system development, and can handle the complex, custom code that intelligent control systems need. ControlShell fully automates development, building executing systems from graphical diagrams. It is currently used as the core architecture for many complex real systems, including the ambitious $250M project to redesign the launch control system for the Space Shuttle. NDDS(TM) NDDS is network middleware for distributed real-time applications. NDDS uses the real-time publish-subscribe (RTPS) communications model to provide fast, deterministic data distribution over standard IP (Internet Protocol) networks. NDDS simplifies real-time network programming. Its simple API lets applications just subscribe to the data they need and publish the data they have; NDDS handles all of the detailed network communications. NDDS powers many real-time distributed applications, ranging from hotel elevators to navy ships to telecommunications equipment. Real-Time Innovations, Inc. Real-Time Innovations, Inc. (RTI), a 1991 spin-off from Stanford University, is a leading developer of new tools for the growing real-time software market. The company's products help real-time developers analyze and understand embedded systems, speed development of distributed real-time systems, and coordinate the work of teams of programmers developing large projects.
