The Ideal Mobile Virtualization Solution

> Fundamentally reliable and secure implementation

• Runs guest OSes and drivers at user level

• Mechanisms to securely manage resource allocation/use by VMs

• Minimizes the amount of privileged code

> Supports a wide range of VM types

• HLOS guests such as Android, Linux, Symbian, and Windows


• RTOS guests

• Lightweight execution environments (no guest OS)

> Takes full advantage of the functionality of mobile handset processors

> Proven readiness for commercial use

> Insignificant impact on handset performance

> Small memory footprint, appropriate for handset resource constraints

Open Kernel LabsMobile Virtualization – Momentum

> World’s leading provider of mobile phone virtualization solutions

> Founded in 2006 following 15+ years R&D; > $25MM invested

> Delivers OKL4 ; in more than 300 million devices

> IP commercialization with National ICT Australia

> Solutions for Android, Symbian, Linux, and more

> Growing mobile-to-enterprise market with investor/partner Citrix


2009 Finalist

OKL4 Virtualization Architecture: Secure HyperCell™ Technology

> Uniquely addresses virtual machines and individual applications of drivers

> Separating an application from the OS reduces its trusted computing base

> Native OKL4 applications are reusable with multiple OSes

> Isolating an additional application does not require introduction of

does not require introduction of another OS

> Microvisor provides scheduling, isolation, and communication services

> Communication between cells only allowed where explicitly authorized
