Abstract :
Linux®-based ATEs are susceptible to obsolescence due to quickly changing kernel versions and varying distribution support between hardware and software vendors. This paper explains how virtualization technology can help mitigate the risk of obsolescence and reduce maintenance costs in Linux-based ATEs by running multiple operating systems simultaneously on one controller.
