Abilis VMX supports multi-core CPUs: one core is dedicated to Abilis and the remaining to virtual machines managed by a modified version of XEN.There's no perfomance degradation because both router and Hypervisor can access to not simulated hardware resources.
Abilis VMX is an expandable device. Below there are the hardware characteristics of the base unit:
Intel E7500 CPU
2048 MB RAM
Dual 128MB Compact-Flash modules for boot
PC platform with 4 PCI-slots and 8 USB ports for expansion modules
2 RS-232 ports
Hardware Watchdog processor
