About VirtualBox

Oracle VirtualBox is a free, open-source, cross-platform virtualization application developed by Oracle Corporation. Designed for both technical professionals and everyday users, VirtualBox allows you to run multiple operating systems simultaneously on your Windows, Mac, Linux, or Solaris computer. With compatibility for a wide range of guest systems—from modern Windows and Linux versions to legacy platforms and BSD, OS/2, Solaris, and even Haiku—VirtualBox offers remarkable versatility in a compact package.

Enjoy seamless resource management, robust snapshot and backup features, and strong hardware compatibility, all with a user-friendly interface. The open-source nature guarantees flexibility and security, while support for advanced features such as USB 3.0, network emulation, CPU hot-plugging, guest additions, paravirtualization, GPU acceleration, drag-and-drop, and cloud export make VirtualBox suitable for personal, enterprise, and development use. Its integration with Oracle Cloud and constant updates keep VirtualBox relevant for evolving virtualization needs.
