WIND RIVER STUDIO WORKSPACE

A Complete Development Environment in Your Browser

 

Wind River® Studio Workspace streamlines provisioning and configuration of development environments for embedded software. It enables instant creation of secure, fully configured workspaces in public or private cloud infrastructure. Developers can access their workspaces from anywhere, on any computer.

Because new development team members don’t need to manually configure new workstations, they can get right to work on their embedded software projects. Standardized tooling and configurations improve collaboration and productivity. Security and compliance are eased, too, because Studio Workspace centralizes resources, developer working directories, and access controls in your cloud environment.

BENEFITS

Get New Developers up to Speed Faster

Enable new embedded systems developers with a fully configured development environment on their first day. By moving lengthy IT procurement processes out of the critical path and eliminating manual installation and configuration of tools, developers can get to work sooner.

Reduce Development Friction

Because development and testing happen in a web browser, developers can use the computer or operating system they prefer. Cloud workspaces mean developers can work remotely without disruptive transitions from one device to another. Workspaces use the standardized configurations you create to meet your projects’ needs. Every developer’s system works the same way, which avoids the dreaded “It works on my machine” scenarios that complicate troubleshooting.

Streamline Security and Compliance

Traditional development practices proliferate private source code across many development machines, which must be made secure and compliant. Studio Workspace keeps all development environments — including developers’ working directories — within an organization’s own cloud. Comprehensive role-based access controls ensure that developers can only access the projects and resources their roles allow, and a uniform management interface simplifies administration.

Reduce Hardware Cost

Developers often require dedicated, high-powered workstations to remain productive as they build and test large, complex code bases. Studio Workspace provisions virtual workstations in the cloud, enabling teams to scale resources up and down as needed. Developers can remain productive on lower-cost devices, such as typical business laptops or tablets. If their usual hardware fails, they can easily swap to a backup computer and immediately get back to work.

KEY FEATURES

Customizable Environments

Project administrators define a template for each project to establish standardized configurations, so developers and testers can access precisely the tools, resources, and configurations they need.

Browser-Based Workspaces

Developer workspaces are accessible through a web browser, so they can be used from virtually any device. You get the same developer experience whether you access the system from a work or home computer or from a mobile device, using any operating system

Easily Scalable

Cloud resources are virtually unlimited, so development teams can adjust configurations according to the team’s needs — without expensive and lengthy IT procurement cycles. When demand subsides, you can scale down resources to reduce expenses.

Single-Pane-of-Glass Administration

Administrative needs such as user permissions, access controls, and project assignments are managed in the Studio Developer platform, improving consistency and reducing duplication. Administrators have several ways to manage settings, including CLI, GUI, and API.

Integrated with Studio Developer

As part of the Wind River Studio Developer family, Studio Workspace has easy access to code, artifacts, pipelines, tests, targets, and other resources shared with other projects and teams in your organization.
