INTEGRITY Workstation Support for Intel Virtualization Technology announced by Green Hills
Green Hills Software has announced the availability of enhancements to INTEGRITY Workstation to support Intel Virtualization Technology-enabled processors and chipsets. The INTEGRITY Workstation is based on the secure and safety-certified INTEGRITY operating system, and uses Green Hills Software’s Padded Cell virtual machine technology to provide an operating environment that supports high criticality applications alongside traditional, unmodified desktop and server operating systems, such as Windows, Linux, and Solaris. Software solutions that incorporate Intel Virtualization Technology enable multiple operating systems to be run simultaneously in their own protected environments.
“W“The combination of Green Hills’ software and Intel Virtualization Technology provides significant improvements in next-generation security platform enablement,” said Steve Price, director of marketing, Embedded and Communications Processor Division, Intel. “When using the INTEGRITY Workstation from Green Hills Software, customers can fully realize the benefits of Intel Virtualization Technology: enabling protected computer usage models while preserving investments in software.”
INTEGRITY Workstation incorporates a high-assurance Human Interface Device Manager, which manages the display of information at multiple security levels yet still supports a rich graphical environment. The Human Interface Device Manager provides a cross-domain information transfer capability that can be customized to support application or system-specific regrading policies. It also provides a trusted path for the shared keyboard and mouse devices and a multi-factor login and authentication mechanism that cannot be spoofed.
