Business impact
Our business
VirtualLogix is the global leader in virtualization software for connected devices and networks. Products such as 3G wireless handsets, multimedia IP devices and switching equipment benefit from VirtualLogix virtualization technology.
The product that provides virtualization, VirtualLogix™ VLX, allows multiple operating systems and their respective application software stack to co-exist and interoperate on a single-core or a multi-core processor. VirtualLogix VLX is also able to provide an environment for the introduction of customizable trusted (security) areas of operation and device management outside of the domain of the operating systems.
Competitive advantages for VirtualLogix's customers
VirtualLogix VLX increases customer's competitiveness:
Increased functionality and cost reduction - Speeding the introduction of a rich OS such as Linux, while allowing legacy and new user applications to run directly on a single processor brings more functionality at reduced cost.
Lower risk of new product introduction - Providing additional functionality without the need to re-write or port existing applications to a new software architecture minimizes risks for new product developments.
Reduced time to market for new products - No porting effort and minimum re-validation of existing software allows early and rapid deployment of new products into the market.
ROI and protection of intellectual property - Enabling and leveraging the best of legacy RTOS, proprietary and open applications simultaneously maximizes return on investment and protects intellectual property.
