Simplify Embedded Virtualization with Pre-Integrated Stacks (Download)
In the first part of this article series, we explored how workload consolidation can help OEMs reduce costs, shrink system footprints, and streamline development. We also explained how virtualization and hypervisors have moved from a niche concept to a must-have for modern design. Without it, industrial automation OEMs risk falling behind in an increasingly fast-paced competitive landscape.
The previous article also explained how pre-integrated hardware/software stacks are making workload consolidation more accessible. That topic merits deeper discussion. OEMs have been hesitant to adopt workload consolidation due to concerns about development complexity. This article takes a closer look at those concerns and explains how integrated solution platforms can help overcome them.
