Virtualization platforms comparison

This study evaluates the suitability of different virtualization platforms for Nordic nuclear power plant applications. It provides a structured comparison of available technologies, focusing on key requirements such as legacy support, offline operability, licensing models, and long-term maintainability.
The results of the study shortlists three platforms, but also highlights that no single platform fulfils all requirements and that each nuclear power plant therefore must continue the evaluation based on the individual needs of the specific plant.

Virtualization platforms comparison
Reliable and maintainable digital systems are essential for the long-term operation of nuclear power plants. Increasing reliance on virtualization introduces opportunities and challenges, particularly regarding stability, offline operation, and preservation of legacy systems in highly regulated environments.
