Description

Develop virtualization solutions utilizing a minimalistic hypervisor that operates without the need for any external kernel extensions. The hypervisor offers C APIs, allowing for interaction with virtualization technologies directly in user space, eliminating the necessity of writing kernel extensions (KEXTs). Consequently, the applications designed with this framework can be distributed through the Mac App Store. Leverage this framework to create and manage hardware-accelerated virtual machines and virtual processors (VMs and vCPUs) from your authorized, sandboxed user-space application. The Hypervisor simplifies the concept of virtual machines as processes and treats virtual processors as threads. It is important to note that the Hypervisor framework relies on hardware capabilities to virtualize resources efficiently. For Apple silicon, this entails support for the Virtualization Extensions, while for Intel-based Macs, it necessitates systems equipped with an Intel VT-x feature set that includes Extended Page Tables (EPT) and Unrestricted Mode. This ensures the framework is optimized for performance and security across various hardware configurations.

Description

Alongside our dedicated Mac hardware infrastructure, we provide three adaptable and scalable solutions for virtualizing macOS in the cloud. Our developer-centric platform leverages Kubernetes for effortless scalability. We offer virtualization that is tailored specifically for macOS, operating natively on Apple machines. Additionally, we present an industry-standard virtualization option boasting a comprehensive array of enterprise functionalities. Our team of sales engineers specializes in assisting organizations in selecting and configuring the ideal virtualized Mac cloud tailored to their specific needs. Orka efficiently orchestrates macOS within a cloud framework utilizing Kubernetes technology on authentic Apple hardware. It is meticulously crafted for Mac environments while also incorporating conventional cloud orchestration tools, enabling Apple OS development teams to harness container technology features akin to those used for non-Apple applications. Users of Orka benefit from a software-driven, dependable, and high-performance experience using genuine Apple hardware. Anka, on the other hand, is designed explicitly for Mac, employing the official macOS Hypervisor.framework alongside external registry and controller nodes to enhance its efficiency and functionality. This combination of solutions ensures that teams can maximize their productivity while working in a virtualized macOS environment.
