VirtualLogix介绍：Intel is an equity investor in VirtualLogix via Intel Capital, and the two companies have long collaborated on products. In April, VirtualLogix announced it had updated the Intel Architecture (IA) version of VLX-NI 3.0 to support Intel VT-d (virtualization technology for directed I/O) and Core Microarchitecture 3.0, among other features. It will spin a version of its embedded virtualization technology for mobile Internet devices (MIDs), it says. Supporting MIDs based on Intel Atom Z5xx processors, VLX for MIDs should help to simplify designs and materials bills, while improving voice quality, multimedia performance, and security, says VirtualLogix.
Touted benefits of VLX for MIDs include:
Supports Linux and Windows
No need to modify (paravirtualize) the guest OS
Built-in power management support
VLX lets guest OSes access physical hardware subsystems directly, for faster performance, VirtualLogix says. At the same time, hardware developers can use VLX to securely isolate critical applications, reduce materials cost, contain software failures, and segregate software licenses, according to the company.
Previous versions of VLX include:
VLX-MH (mobile handsets)
VLX-DM (digital media)
VLX-NI (network infrastructure)
Additionally, VLX-NI is also available in a High-Availability (HA) version. There was no formal name provided for the upcoming MID version of VLX.
