Oracle VirtualBox

Oracle VirtualBox is a Type2 hypervisor that can run on Linux, Windows, Macintosh and Solaris hosts. It is portable as it can run on a large number of 32-bit and 64bit host operating systems. It’s called a hosted hypervisor as it requires an existing operating system to be installed. One good feature of VirtualBox is that virtual machines can be easily imported and exported using OVF (Open Virtualization Format). It’s even possible to import OVFs that are created by different virtualisation software. The detailed feature list is available at http://download. virtualbox.org/virtualbox/UserManual.pdf.
