VirtualBox
1.6.4 | Utilities
InnoTek VirtualBox is a family of powerful x86 virtualization products
for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and
embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization
solution that is also Open Source Software.
Some of the features of VirtualBox are:
* 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.
