VirtualBox, first released in January 2007, used some of QEMU's virtual hardware devices, and had a built-in dynamic re-compiler based on QEMU. As with KQEMU, VirtualBox runs nearly all guest code natively on the host via the VMM (Virtual Machine Manager) and uses the re-compiler only as a fallback mechanism – for example, when guest code ...
Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is a free and open-source virtualization module in the Linux kernel that allows the kernel to function as a hypervisor. It was merged into the mainline Linux kernel in version 2.6.20, which was released on February 5, 2007. [ 1 ]
GNOME Boxes was initially introduced as beta software in GNOME 3.3 (development branch for 3.4) as of Dec 2011, [5] and as a preview release in GNOME 3.4. [6] Its primary functions were as a virtual machine manager, remote desktop client (over VNC), and remote filesystem browser, utilizing the libvirt, libvirt-glib, and libosinfo technologies. [7]
Full virtualization was not fully available on the x86 platform prior to 2005. Many platform hypervisors for the x86 platform came very close and claimed full virtualization (such as Adeos, Mac-on-Linux, Parallels Desktop for Mac, Parallels Workstation, VMware Workstation, VMware Server (formerly GSX Server), VirtualBox, Win4BSD, and Win4Lin Pro).
VirtualBox also contains a dynamic recompiler, based on QEMU to recompile any real mode or protected mode code entirely (e.g. BIOS code, a DOS guest, or any operating system startup). [ 42 ] Using these techniques, VirtualBox could achieve performance comparable to that of VMware in its later versions.
libvirt is an open-source API, daemon and management tool for managing platform virtualization. [3] It can be used to manage KVM, Xen, VMware ESXi, QEMU and other virtualization technologies.
KVM, a virtualization module integrated into the Linux kernel, is released. January 15, 2007 InnoTek releases VirtualBox Open Source Edition (OSE), the first professional PC virtualization solution released as open source under the GNU General Public License . It includes some code from the QEMU project.
