KAL solution to hardware upgrades is world first for industry
In a world first for the ATM industry, KAL has identified a ground-breaking solution to the long-standing problem of enforced ATM hardware upgrades.
OS-Virtualization uses an existing Linux-based technology known as a hypervisor to separate the hardware from an ATM’s operating system. This means that banks are no longer forced to upgrade their ATM hardware in order to stay compliant every time there is an operating system upgrade.
Read KAL’s whitepaper here to learn more about this revolutionary solution.
