VirtualLogix Introduces Carrier Grade Virtualization

VirtualLogix (News - Alert), has introduced Carrier Grade Virtualization that can meet the performance, security, serviceability and availability needs of next generation, multicore-based carrier grade systems. VirtualLogix Carrier Grade Virtualization can play a key role in reducing the cost and complexity of maintaining carrier grade properties in edge and core network elements such as IP Multimedia System (IMS) nodes.
 
Thus, networking and telecommunication original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) can now reuse existing investments in their carrier grade systems while gaining the benefits of using VirtualLogix VLX real-time virtualization software. These benefits include faster adoption of multicore architectures and consolidation of hardware, reduced bill of materials, and increased availability, improved time to market, and more efficient designs as a result.
 
As networking equipment providers usually depend on carrier grade redundant systems to provide high availability for their communications equipment, these systems have become quite expensive for them. With VirtualLogix Carrier Grade Virtualization, systems looking for service continuity, security and high availability can now maintain these attributes by adopting multicore architectures.
 
VirtualLogix Carrier Grade Virtualization technology integrates High-Availability (HA) software with real-time virtualization in a multicore environment. It allows HA middleware to manage not only applications and hardware but also virtual machines running their own operating systems.
 
However, VirtualLogix Carrier Grade Virtualization provides significant cost savings and reduced time to market by helping system designers introduce virtualization into their existing carrier grade systems while minimizing qualification and validation cycles.
 
“VirtualLogix’s Carrier Grade Virtualization sets a new standard for network infrastructure systems,” said Peter Richards, VirtualLogix president and CEO. “Leading partners recognize VLX as a recommended virtualization solution for network equipment. Our new focus on Carrier Grade Virtualization highlights the improved performance, dependability and return on investment VLX solutions deliver users across a variety of industries.”
