Virtualization startup gets $16M funding
Jul. 12, 2007

Embedded virtualization specialist VirtualLogix has announced series B funding of $16 million. New investors included Intel Capital and round leader Esprit Capital Partners, while existing investors Atlas Venture and Index Ventures also contributed.

VirtualLogix said it plans to use the funds to "accelerate the company's global growth strategy, and develop the next generation of VirtualLogix's real-time virtualization software solutions."

VirtualLogix's flagship VLX product comprises a small scheduler and other nanokernel components designed to divvy up a computer system's resources -- CPU, memory, and peripherals -- between multiple operating system instances. The touted advantages of this are many, but in a nutshell are reduced bill-of-material costs, legacy OS/application reuse, software failure containment, and license segregation.

VirtualLogix's current product line-up includes:
  • VLX-DM (digital multimedia), which targets set-top boxes, and generated most of the company's revenues early on. It was recently bundled by TI with select DaVinci DSP and RISC/DSP development boards

  • VLX-NI (network infrastructure), recently updated to support unmodified guest OSes (including Linux) when run on hardware with Intel VT (virtualization technology)

  • VLX-MH (mobile handset) -- recently used by Spanish phone vendor Vitelcom in a product touted as the first single-core phone to run Linux
In its first funding round, VirtualLogix (then "Jaluna") raised $12M, making it France's fourth best-funded company in 2004. The company later relocated to Santa Clara, after hiring former Wind River executive Peter Richards as CEO.
