How It Works | Redfinger Cloud Android Emulator

Redfinger Cloud Android Smartphone platform is a successful implementation of ARMVM technology and now open to users instead of targeting only enterprises.

Technologies behind Redfinger Cloud Android Emulators

Remote mobile virtualization

Like its counterpart desktop virtualization, remote mobile virtualzation is a technology that separates operating systems and applications from the client devices that access them. However, while desktop virtualization allows users to remotely access Windows desktops and applications, remote mobile virtualization offers remote access to mobile operating systems such as Android.

Remote mobile virtualization encompasses both full operating system virtualization, referred to as virtual mobile infrastructure (VMI), and user and application virtualization, termed mobile app virtualization. Remote mobile virtualization allows a user to remotely control an Android virtual machine (VM) or application. Users can access remotely hosted applications with HTML5-enabled web browsers or thin client applications from a variety of smartphones, tablets and computers, including Apple iOS, Mac OS, Blackberry, Windows Phone, Windows desktop, and Firefox OS devices.

Virtual Mobile Infrastructure | VMI

VMI refers to the method of hosting a mobile operating system on a server in a data center or the cloud. Mobile operating system environments are executed remotely and they are rendered via mobile optimized display protocols through network. Most commonly, multiple mobile OS virtual machines (VM) are hosted on cloud infrastructure that allow users to access them remotely by thin clients.

Microservers based on existing mobile processors can also used to host Mobile VMs as they provide full GPU access for feature-rich user interfaces. To achieve higher density, VMI implementations can use customized versions of Android that minimize memory requirements and speed up boot times.

How Redfinger Actually Works

Components of Redfinger VMI Platform

  • Redfinger Client

    Redfinger Client is a thin client developed and available across almost al platforms including Android, iOS, Windows, Mac and Browser Extensions that provides access to Redfinger devices in the cloud.

  • Redfinger Virtual Android Device

    Redfinger virtual android device is a virtual mobile platform that runs on Hyperspace servers. It functions just like a physical Android smartphone, except the OS, data and apps resides and run on a cloud-based virtual mobile instead of a physical device.

  • Redfinger Admin Console

    Redfinger Admin Console can monitor and configure Hyperspace cloud android platform, including Redfinger servers, virtual Android devices and users.

Emulate Android Devices in the Cloud

Redfinger imitates Android device in software, on any platform, with native quality performance. It does this with a combination of virtualization and emulation technology.

It manages to virtualize ARM core and ARM servers allow redfinger platform to house 100% native Android OS (with root access and pre-loaded Google Play) hosted on virtual machines (VMs).

Redfinger's flexible memory re-partitioning scheme allows for memory to be migrated from one guest to another on-demand.

Users can request free trial or purchase subscriptions to run a certain amount of Android OS mobile devices running in the cloud as close to real hardware capabilities as possible.

Redfinger client is developed for not only mobile platform like Android and iOS, but also Windows pc, mac and even browsers. It enables a seamless and productive user experience on any platform.
