Does NI-USI support hosting Virtual Machines?

[ShotSimon]

Hi, 

We have LV 2020 and our IT folks are claiming that it contains SW capable of hosting a Virtual Machine.

The software that was logged from IT is:

National Instrument USI CORE V

19.60.49153

Since this is a corporate machine this will require some extra approval we currently don't have (I don't even know if they allow it).

Does anyone have experience with what this is?  Or why is it flagged as a VM?

I found some info here:

https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/labview/page/including-additional-national-instruments-installe...

NI USI—Include this installer if the application or shared library uses the Storage/DataPlugin VIs

I've never heard of this before.  IMO it has to be a false detection.  But let's hear from others before we jump to conclusions.

Been a NI product user for 6+ years, nope, NI products CANNOT host a VM

Edit - my comment was for NI made software, of course, Windows can host a VM installed on a NI Embedded controller but it will still not be NI made.
