Abstract
A system and method for reducing storage space requirements for an embedded hypervisor. The system and method includes installing an application context on a hypervisor while installing files needed by the applications to a shared storage device. Such a system and method provides a unique application context install. Additionally, such a system and method uniquely shares applications while reducing the space occupied on the embedded device. Also, such system and a method uniquely loads applications from remote storage without actually caching the applications on a local system.
