Description - VirtualBox



innotek VirtualBox is a family of powerful x86 virtualization products for enterprise as well as home use. Not only is VirtualBox an extremely feature rich, high performance product for enterprise customers, it is also the only professional solution that is freely available as Open Source Software under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). See `About VirtualBox` for an introduction; see `innotek` for more about our Company.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.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.
