Wind River and Mirantis Collaborate on OpenStack Proof of Concept Project
As part of both companies commitment to industry standards and interoperability, Wind River and Mirantis recently completed a joint Proof of Concept interoperability project at Wind River's Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) lab in Santa Clara, California.
