About Virtio Virtio delivers an environment where embedded systems are evaluated, customized, and proliferated over the Internet. With its unique virtual prototyping technology, Virtio overcomes critical time-to-market barriers for both embedded system suppliers and developers. Virtual prototyping allows system designers to create a high-performance software model of a complete system -- without the need for physical hardware. The technology is powerful and scalable enough to model a complex embedded system and yet fast enough to execute production-quality software very early in the design cycle. Virtio is based in Campbell, Calif. Additional information about Virtio is available at www.virtio.com. Note to Editors: Virtio is a trademark of Virtio.
