Phoenix introduces HyperSpace for speedy booting
If you are the victim of irritation while waiting even after Windows boot up and shut down especially with PC designers, security innovators and content providers, who need instant-on applications, must thank Phoenix Technologies for its new HyperSpace with HyperCore - a lightweight Zoned Virtual Machine Monitor (ZVMM).
HyperSpace is a layer on top of the BIOS capable of running specialized core services side-by-side with Windows and frees you from those lengthy yawning startup periods. It's like playing DVD on multimedia without booting the whole window. Next-generation new HyperSpace platform paves the way for one-click remote system maintenance, repair, lower battery consumption and embedded security, content such as instant-on multi-media players, IP soft phones, email, instant messaging, Web 2.0 browsing, safe shopping etc.
Phoenix prototype of this kind has already been tested and hopes to find a way into laptops within the next six to nine months whereas, second half of 2008 may witness openness to consumers.
