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:
These are the expansions:
up to 12 ISDN2 or ISDN30 ports. Refer to the following chapters: Section 2.8.2, “QPRIX”, Section 2.8.4, “PB44X”, Section 2.8.7, “BRI-HFC4 / BRI-HFC8”,Section 2.8.3, “PB22”.
up to 48 analogue extensions (for “internal” telephones or fax). Refer to the following chapter: Section 2.8.8, “POTS 4/8/16”.
