OK Labs - A different kind of company

The OK Labs business philosophy integrates creativity, engineering excellence, and market savvy. The company was conceived and nurtured by educators and researchers with a mission to explore and develop superior technology.

OK Labs and the OKL4 Microvisor, are the result of international collaboration among academia, business, and a growing developer community. OK Labs solutions originated decades ago at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, and benefited from further development at the University of Karlsruhe in Germany. As commercial ventures, OK Labs and OKL4 were launched by National ICT Australia (NICTA), with additional investment by Citrix and other venture partners. OK Labs technology continues to benefit from ties to academia and research projects. 

The company and the community

The foundation of OK Labs is openness; open sharing of ideas with customers and community. OK Labs products are built on open-source code. 

OK Labs sponsors and participates directly in the OK Community, providing OKL4, white papers, OKL4 tutorials, a mobile virtualization developer forum, GeekTV videos, expert blogs, and in-person meet-ups. To learn more, join the community, or to request software, visit the OK Labs wiki.
