Virtual Box – An Introduction
Virtual Box is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Not
only is Virtual Box 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) version 2.
When we describe Virtual Box as a "virtualization" product, we refer to "full virtualization", that is, the particular
kind of virtualization that allows an unmodified operating system with all of its installed software to run in a
special environment, on top of your existing operating system. This
environment,calleda"virtualmachine",iscreatedbythevirtualizationsoftwarebyintercepting access to certain
hardware components and certain features. The physical computer is then usually called the "host", while the
virtual machine is often called a "guest". Most of the guest code runs unmodified, directly on the host computer,
and the guest operating system "thinks" it's running on real machine. Learn more athttps://www.virtualbox.org/
