Supported virtualization

One of the key features for virtualization on the M520 is the support for a fail-safe hypervisor. By
running the hypervisor on an optional SD card and installing a backup copy on the other mirrored
SD card, you can protect against hardware failure and maximize virtualization uptime. Table 18
highlights the virtualization support for the M520.
