Partnership brings advanced cloud-native virtualization and container management solutions to India’s partner ecosystem

MUMBAI, India--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tech Data, a TD SYNNEX company and Wind River , today announced a strategic partnership to accelerate enterprise adoption of advanced cloud-native solutions in India. The collaboration will focus on driving adoption of Wind River® Cloud Platform, built on eLxr Pro™ commercial enterprise Linux, for enterprises deploying next-generation intelligent edge systems.

This partnership combines Wind River’s robust, scalable software portfolio for the edge with Tech Data’s strong presence and partner network in India. Together, the companies aim to empower enterprises across telecommunications, industrial, automotive, and aerospace and defense sectors to deploy and manage distributed cloud environments with greater efficiency, reliability, and security.

The collaboration will provide the Indian channel ecosystem with a powerful, integrated solution stack:

• Wind River Cloud Platform: A production-grade, distributed Kubernetes solution for managing edge cloud infrastructure. Based on the open source StarlingX project, it is optimized for mission-critical workloads requiring ultra-low latency. It provides the ideal framework for deploying applications that manage complex data flows and secure edge messaging with cloud services, making it perfect for 5G, vRAN, and industrial IoT applications.
• eLxr Pro: A commercial, enterprise-grade Linux distribution built from a Debian-based open source project. eLxr Pro provides a secure, stable, and high-performance foundation for Cloud Platform and other demanding edge-to-cloud applications, offering long-term support and lifecycle management for mission-critical deployments.

“Virtualization and container technologies are driving digital transformation, and our partners are looking for solutions that combine simplicity with scalability,” said Sundaresan K., Vice President and Country General Manager, Tech Data Advanced (India) Private Limited. “Through our partnership with Wind River, we are equipping our partners with proven platforms that accelerate deployment and create new revenue streams.
