QNX Hypervisor Virtualization Software
  Consolidate diverse embedded systems with different reliability and security requirements onto a single system on a chip (SoC) with the QNX Hypervisor. You can also move unmodified legacy code onto the latest hardware simply by running it in an appropriately configured hypervisor virtual machine.

Just as easily, you can innovate with Android™ and Linux. With guest OSs safely and securely contained in QNX Hypervisor virtual machines, you can run the apps and services you need with the OSs you choose.

With the QNX Hypervisor, you’ll implement the features your designs require, on the OSs you prefer, all while reducing system power consumption, the need for thermal dissipation and costs of both initial development and long-term ownership.
