Nuova versione per il popolare “virtualizzatore”, di cui vi ho già parlato, che vi permette più sistemi operativi uno dentro l’altro senza bisogno di dover riavviare la macchina ed effettuare il boot in un altro sistema.
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.
Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, Macintosh and OpenSolaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4 and 2.6), and OpenBSD.
VirtualBox is being actively developed with frequent releases and has an ever growing list of features, supported guest operating systems and platforms it runs on. VirtualBox is a community effort backed by a dedicated company: everyone is encouraged to contribute while Sun ensures the product always meets professional quality criteria.
VirtualBox è in grado di gestire le immagini di macchine virtuali create con i prodotti VMWare (formato .vmdk) e di supportare l’accesso ad unità disco e partizioni “fisiche” (”Raw Disk support”).
Di dipendenza ormai della Sun, ecco le novità in sintesi:
VirtualBox 1.6 is a major update, incorporating over 2000 improvements. Among the highlights:
- The new Sun livery
- Solaris and Mac versions no longer in beta
- Guest Additions for Solaris
- Seamless windowing for Solaris and Linux guests
- SATA support for up to 32 hard disks per VM (first product in the industry to do SATA!)
- PAE support for guests (memory model required by some server OSes)
- Web Services API for remote management
- Significant improvements to scalability
