XLAB d.o.o. is a software development company, founded in 2001 and based in Slovenia. XLAB focuses on cloud computing technologies and distributed systems. Its research department[1] has participated in several[2] European ICT research projects, most notably in XtreemOS, SLA@SOI and Contrail.
European Research
According to a 2012 European Commission study,[3] XLAB was the third most important research organization in Slovenia in terms of European funds between 2007 and 2012, and the first private research organization.
XLAB's main area of research is focused on the following fields:
- Federated Cloud – Contrail,[4][5] XtreemOS,[6]
- Available HPC Cloud Infrastructure – Fortissimo,[7][8][9]
- Future networks and Internet – Mo-Bizz,[10]
- Energy efficiency and Smart Grids – FINESCE[11][12][13] and eBadge,[14][15]
- Cognitive systems, sensors and robotics – Giraff+,[16][17][18]
- Trustworthy ICT – ACDC,[19][20][21] and SPECS.[22][23][24]
In 2015 XLAB joined the Phishing Initiative,[25] a consortium which includes several technology companies such as cyscon and Opera Software. XLAB's Device Monitoring is, as of June 2015, one of the four tools that the consortium offers freely to the general public, together with Opera Browser, a Firefox Browser plug-in and HitmanPro.
Additionally, the company participates in other areas of research such as People's Security (Pandora,[26] Odyssey[27]), Digital Culture (MOSAICA[28]), and Lifelong learning (Creatin,[29] dCDDFlite[30] and other Leonardo and Erasmus+ projects), as well as in several national projects in Slovenia.
Commercial
XLAB commercializes a few solutions of its own, product of its internal and European funded research, including GIS solution Gaea+, medical visualization MedicView and most notably ISL Online.
ISL Online[31] is a software for secure[32] cloud-based remote desktop control[33] and live chat[34] via the Internet. The software is available on the Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux, iOS and Android,[35] and is utilized by small individuals and companies as well as big and multinational enterprises worldwide such as Teleroute[36] (Belgium), Telecom Slovenia (Slovenia), Azteca (Mexico), Canon Inc.[37] (Japan), Swiss Post (Switzerland) among others.
In September 2015, XLAB partnered with AVG Technologies [38] to integrate ISL Online (desktop sharing technology) into AVG Business Managed Workplace 9.2[39] (remote monitoring and management software) in order to give Managed Services Providers the ability to easily access and control an unlimited number of unattended remote computers.
