VirtualBox - Open Source Virtualization Software

VirtualBox is a name that resonates with flexibility and efficiency in the world of virtualization software. It's a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product that caters to both enterprise needs and home use. VirtualBox stands out in the tech community not only for its rich set of features and high performance but also for its status as open-source software under the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 3.

The software's ability to run on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and support a vast array of guest operating systems makes it a versatile tool for developers and IT professionals. From legacy systems like DOS/Windows 3.x to modern operating systems like Windows 10 and 11, and from Linux distributions to Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, and various BSD flavors, VirtualBox's compatibility range is impressive.

Oracle VM VirtualBox, the latest iteration, brings even more to the table with features like integration with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), enhanced 3D support, an automated virtual machine (VM) builder, and full VM encryption. These advancements not only increase productivity but also reduce operational costs and complexity, making it a go-to solution for secure application deployment both on-premises and to the cloud.
