VirtualLogix Inc., a member of the ARM Connected Community, has joined the Linux Foundation, the non-profit organisation dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux.

By joining the Linux Foundation, VirtualLogix brings its real-time virtualization expertise to the organization, enabling device manufacturers to add the rich functionality of Linux into network infrastructure and mobile handset applications, while reducing bill of materials.

Jim Zemlin, executive director of The Linux Foundation commented: “With the company’s long-standing, proven experience in real-time virtualization software, we look forward to VirtualLogix’s technical contributions in our Carrier Grade Linux and Mobile Linux Initiative working groups.”

VirtualLogix will contribute its industry knowledge to the Linux Foundation’s Carrier Grade Linux and Mobile Linux Initiative working groups. The company’s real-time virtualization software enables multiple operating systems to run securely and simultaneously on the same single or multi-core processor, while maintaining hard real-time and high throughput requirements.

VirtualLogix’s technology provides developers with the ability to share hardware resources and combine a real-time operating system (RTOS) with a rich OS, such as Linux. System designers can add more functionality quickly and with reduced costs, the company explained. VLX also provides a range of performance, fault tolerance and security options for a wide variety of embedded applications.
