VirtualBox 4.2.18 |
Computer Engineering And Network - VirtualBox is a general-purpose full virtualizer for x86 hardware.
Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only
professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source
Software.
Features:
Modularity. VirtualBox
has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming
interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it
from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual
machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine
from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a
full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software,
you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for
VirtualBox.
Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The
configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML
and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions
can therefore easily be ported to other computers.
Guest Additions for Windows and Linux. VirtualBox has special software
that can be installed inside Windows and Linux virtual machines to
improve performance and make integration much more seamless. Among the
features provided by these Guest Additions are mouse pointer integration
and arbitrary screen solutions (e.g. by resizing the guest window).
Shared folders. Like many other virtualization solutions, for easy data
exchange between hosts and guests, VirtualBox allows for declaring
certain host directories as "shared folders", which can then be accessed
from within virtual machines.
A number of extra features are available with the full VirtualBox release only.
Virtual USB Controllers. VirtualBox implements a virtual USB controller
and allows you to connect arbitrary USB devices to your virtual
machines without having to install device specific drivers on the host.
Remote Desktop Protocol. Unlike any other virtualization software,
VirtualBox fully supports the standard Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). A
virtual machine can act as an RDP server, allowing you to "run" the
virtual machine remotely on some thin client that merely displays the
RDP data.
USB over RDP. With this unique feature, a
virtual machine that acts as an RDP server can still access arbitrary
USB devices that are connected on the RDP client. This way, a powerful
server machine can virtualize a lot of thin clients that merely need to
display RDP data and have USB devices plugged in.
