Abilis VMX supports multi-core CPUs: one core is dedicated to Abilis and the remaining for virtual machines managed by a modified version of XEN. There's no performance 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:
These are the expansions:
up to 12 ISDN2 or ISDN30 ports. Refer to the following chapters: Section 2.11.1, “QPRIX”, Section 2.11.3, “PB44X”, Section 2.11.6, “BRI-HFC4 / BRI-HFC8”, Section 2.11.2, “PB22”.
up to 48 analogue extensions (for “internal” telephones or fax). Refer to the following chapter: Section 2.11.7, “POTS 4/8/16”.
up to 384 analogue extensions (for “internal” telephones or fax). Refer to the following chapter: Section 2.11.10, “POTSHUB”.
up to 3 Ethernet ports. Refer to the following chapter: Section 2.11.11, “Ethernet”.
up to 24 Ethernet ports. Refer to the following chapter: Section 2.11.13, “QUAD-Ethernet”.
up to 3 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Refer to the following chapter: Section 2.11.12, “GigaEthernet”.
up to 10 xDSL concurrent connections to the Internet. Refer to the following chapter: Section 2.12.1, “ADSL modem”.
up to 10 UMTS gateways (up to 16 simultaneous calls between the fixed and the mobile network). Refer to the following chapter: Section 2.12.4, “UMTS-BOX2”.
up to two 5” 5200 RPM SATA Hard-Drives.
The hypervisor can run both Linux OS and Windows OS virtual machines.
