Embedded design challenges are extremely tough. You need to find ways to reduce system cost and power while at the same time meeting customer demands for new applications and services. You face aggressive time-to-market deadlines. You need enhanced reliability and security, and you need to protect your company’s investments in legacy software.
Virtualization can help you meet all of these objectives. Intel® Xeon® and Intel® Core™ vPro™ processors provide hardware assistance to virtualization software, reducing its size and complexity, and improving overall performance.

Intel Platform Architect Tanveer Alam explains the benefits of embedded virtualization.
Virtualization can optimize compute resources and security in many embedded use cases.
It all comes down to multiple functions on a single device, with added security and reliability.
Virtualization enhances reliability by letting automatic failover systems run on a single device.
