Virtualisation get Embedded

August 13th, 2008

Virtualisation_and_hypervisors_aid_embedded_design

Virtualisation, hypervisors, and separation kernels have generated considerable buzz in both the enterprise and embedded marketplaces.

However, these same technologies also can play an instrumental role in other environments requiring elements of security, such as those found in the industrial, medical, and financial services areas. What these environments have in common is a need to share some common data, applications, or functions, while leaving other, more critical applications and functions (or data with a higher sensitivity) under virtual lock and key.
