简介
VirtualBox 是由德国 InnoTek 软件公司出品的虚拟机软件,现在则由甲骨文公司进行开发,是甲骨文公司xVM虚拟化平台技术的一部份。VirtualBox 提供用户在32位或64位的Windows、Solaris 及Linux 操作系统上虚拟其它x86的操作系统。用户可以在VirtualBox上安装并且运行 Solaris、Windows、DOS、Linux、OS/2 Warp、OpenBSD及FreeBSD等系统作为客户端操作系统。VirtualBox 与同性质的VMware及Virtual PC 比较下,VirtualBox独到之处包括远程桌面协议(RDP)、iSCSI及USB的支持,VirtualBox在客户机操作系统上已可以支持USB 2.0的硬件设备。
VirtualBox 最初是以专有软件协议的方式提供。2007年1月,InnoTek 以GNU通用公共许可证(GPL)释出 VirtualBox而成为自由软件,并提供二进制版本及开放源代码版本的代码。
