VLX for Network Infrastructure Supporting Power Architecture™ Processors

Overview

 

VLX for Network Infrastructure is VirtualLogix’s Real-Time Virtualization™ software optimized for the demanding environments of communications equipment from core networks to access devices.

 

VLX virtualizes the Power Architecture based platform, making software more efficient. It enables multiple operating systems (OS) to run simultaneously on the same shared hardware, while maintaining hard real-time and high throughput requirements. VLX allows developers to easily introduce Linux while reusing existing real-time operating system (RTOS) and applications, without disrupting the behavior of their supported applications. Running multiple operating systems on shared hardware gives system designers the ability to consolidate formerly discrete systems and services onto a unified platform. This yields a reduced bill of materials, reduced development time, and less power consumption.

Key Benefits

  • Enables support of multiple heterogeneous OS partitions onto a single platform
  • Provides high data throughput and device driver re-use via direct I/O access
  • Supports both shared and dedicated I/O devices for complex system architectures
  • Enables isolation of proprietary code from open source license (GPL) requirements
  • Shrinks BOM and Time-to-Market factors by consolidating legacy and new designs
