Mobile Virtualization with VirtualLogix
VirtualLogix, a real-time virtualization software startup, has received an equity investment from Motorola.
The amount was not disclosed but Motorola’s investment follows similar moves by companies such as Intel, Cisco Systems, and Texas Instruments, which previously invested in VirtualLogix.
VirtualLogix allows cell phone manufacturers to create mobile devices that run multiple operating systems, sharing the resources in an easier and more efficient way.
VirtualLogix VLX for Mobile Handsets is a high-performance, real-time virtualization solution that is targeted at wireless devices using ARM core-based system-on-a-chip (SoC). VLX for Mobile Handsets allows multiple execution environments to simultaneously run on a single ARM processor core. The secure, fault tolerant architecture enables the isolation of each execution environment, allowing phone services, trusted services or device management functions to run unaffected by potential corruptions in an open operating system (OS) such as Linux and its applications.
Virtualization software enables smart phone functionality to be quickly introduced using feature phone architecture by enabling existing modem software and real-time operating system (RTOS) to co-exist with the open OS and its applications on the same processor core.
VLX for Mobile Handsets maintains real-time operating system (RTOS) performance guarantees, allowing handset manufacturers and wireless operators to deliver more reliable, lower-cost mobile phones with advanced features to the mass market. [VirtualLogix]
As mobile devices proliferate with continued short life duration, “demand for simplified product designs that allow dynamic mobile experiences will intensify,” stated Reese Schroeder, managing director of Motorola Ventures, when announcing the investment.
So far, programmers had to code every application (social networking services, games, email or any other features) for each of the different operating systems, including Windows Mobile, Symbian, or Google’s Android. But with virtualization, Motorola could for instance have a Web-browsing application written for one system, an e-mail application for another, and calling features designed for a third OS, and gracefully integrate them onto one single phone.
