VirtualLogix (News - Alert) has announced Carrier Grade Virtualization, the industry’s first solution that is designed to meet the performance, security, serviceability and availability needs of next generation, multicore-based carrier grade systems.

 

VirtualLogix Carrier Grade Virtualization reduces the cost and complexity of maintaining carrier grade properties in edge and core network elements including IP Multimedia System (IMS) nodes.

As such, networking and telecommunication original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) can now reuse existing investments in their carrier grade systems while also gaining the benefits of using VirtualLogix VLX real-time virtualization software.

The delivered benefits include faster adoption of multicore architectures and consolidation of hardware, reduced bill of materials, increased availability, improved time to market and more efficient designs as a result.

 

Networking equipment providers continue to rely on carrier grade redundant systems to provide high availability for their communications equipment. The challenge is that the cost of these systems is generally high, preventing enterprises from using them.

 

Multicore architectures with carrier grade virtualization now open a path to cost-effective carrier grade systems for the Enterprise. VirtualLogix Carrier Grade Virtualization ensures that systems demanding service continuity, security, maintainability and high availability can now maintain these attributes as they adopt multicore architectures.

VirtualLogix Carrier Grade Virtualization technology integrates High-Availability (HA) software with real-time virtualization in a multicore environment, allowing HA middleware to manage applications and hardware, as well as virtual machines running their own operating systems.

As a result, VirtualLogix Carrier Grade Virtualization can provide significant cost savings and reduced time to market by helping system designers to 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,” added Richards.

Other news from VirtualLogix includes the announcement that it is joining the Service Availability Forum. In combination with the Carrier Grade Virtualization solution, this new membership is positioned as underscoring the company’s dedication to delivering advanced virtualization software for the communications industry.

VirtualLogix has done well to recognize the immediate and long term needs in the industry and develop solutions that not only meet these needs, but enable the enterprise to take advantage of innovative technologies that advance network initiatives. Such a focus ensures that the company delivers solutions that are invaluable to the customer, protecting its long term viability.
