The patented, innovative VLX virtualization technology brings the benefits of server-side virtualization functionality to mobile devices. Designed for real-time performance, VLX delivers a high-performance communication capability that minimizes latency and communications between software running in separate containers on the same processor.

Through a shared device framework, VLX provides an innovative and structured mechanism for sharing peripheral devices between different execution containers to enable multi-vendor support. The software allows developers to predictably add new functionality to mobile devices post-delivery, without compromising the initial configuration of any device.

VirtuaLogix will demonstrate the solution at the 2009 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, Feb 16-19.
