Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) for Embedded Communications Applications

Hardware-assisted Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT)¹ provides greater flexibility and maximum system utilization by creation of multiple "Virtual Machines" (VM's) that run on a single hardware platform.
The ability to isolate OSs and application stacks provides a range of benefits for embedded and communications application developers:
Reduce operating and maintenance costs shrinking the overall footprint while eliminating redundant hardware
Protect against corruption with software failover and software migration
Protect previous development investments with legacy applications and new applications on the same hardware platform
Reduce platform overhead and support costs by consolidating onto isolated virtual machines that run both a real-time OS and general-purpose OS on the same device
