Benefits of Virtualization

Virtualization confers a range of benefits upon mobile and embedded applications, with minimal or zero impact on resources and performance:

Preservation and Migration of Legacy Software Investment

Virtualization lets embedded developers "have it both ways" by populating new designs with two (or more) virtualized guest environments, one for legacy code (application and OS) and others for forward-looking OS software.

Supporting Complementary OS Requirements and Capabilities

Rather than attempt to tune an application OS like Linux to meet legacy and emerging performance requirements, virtualization lets developers deploy real-time software stacks and underlying RTOS code intact.

Enhancing Robustness and Security

Virtualization confers greatly increased levels of security and robustness upon deployed application code.

Reducing Costs through Hardware Consolidation

Virtualization also enables multi-CPU and multi-board legacy designs with multiple OS environments to integrate safely on a single CPU.
