VirtualBox is a virtual application that allows you to install other or additional Operating Systems and run concurrently on top of the parent operating system. History VirtualBox was first developed by a German company (Innotek GmbH). In February 2008, Innotek GmbH was taken over by Sun Microsystems.
For example, if someone has the MS Windows operating system installed on his computer, then he can also run other desired operating systems in the MS Windows operating system.
This application is very important if you want to test and simulate the installation of a system without losing the existing system. Currently, VirtualBox supports Windows, Linux, Macintosh, and Solaris hosts and supports most of the latest operating systems.
VirtualBox comes with an intuitive interface that allows users to add a new virtual machine and choose the OS they want (be it Solaris, Windows, Linux, BSD or Mac OS X), as well as the correct version. The next step includes placing the new virtual machine the amount of RAM and HDD space, as well as the dynamic or default storage type.
VirtualBox allows us to run more than one OS at the same time. You can run software that can only run one OS. For example, special software for Windows that can run on Linux or Mac without having to reboot.
With virtual machine software such as VirtualBox, of course, it is very helpful and very useful for users who want to do a trial and simulation of the installation of a particular operating system without having to interfere with and lose the existing main operating system.
In addition, VirtualBox is also very suitable for those who like to experiment with other operating systems without having to worry about the main operating system. By using virtualization we can easily backup a virtual machine and install it elsewhere quickly. Compare if our physical server is damaged, then moving data and applications from one server to another can take hours.
