IT Infrastructure Oracle VirtualBox, the world’s most popular open source, cross-platform, virtualization software, enables developers to deliver code faster by running multiple operating systems on a single device. IT teams and solution providers use VirtualBox to reduce operational costs and shorten the time needed to securely deploy applications on-premises and to the cloud. Learn how you can accelerate your DevOps processes by using Oracle VirtualBox in this short animated video. This latest release is packed with new features, including initial support for macOS on Apple silicon, improvements for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), and a step-by-step wizard to create virtual machines. Oracle VirtualBox features Simplifies operations Reduces IT cost Open source, low-overhead, cross-platform desktop virtualization software lowers operational costs for IT teams by reducing the number of required desktop and server configurations. Runs on any desktop IT teams can simplify development environments by running the same solution on any x86 host operating system (OS) and support a wide range of OS versions on virtual machines (VMs). Supported host operating systems include Windows, Linux, and macOS. An easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) and a powerful command line interface make it easy for developers to work with multiple operating systems on the same system. Development teams can consolidate workloads using VirtualBox to support massive workloads of up to 32 virtual CPUs. Read the datasheet (PDF) Automates deployments to the cloud Using Vagrant boxes with VirtualBox, IT teams can quickly provision development VMs with preconfigured Oracle software and automate the release to production. The built-in GUI makes it easy for developers to import and export virtual machines in standard OVF format, on-premises or in the cloud. For Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, a single click enables developers to upload or download a virtual machine. Explore Vagrant projects Fast tracks quality assurance, testing, and demos Software quality assurance teams can simplify their environment and reduce resources by using a single physical device to test software on multiple OS platforms and versions. Support teams can quickly resolve issues by easily recreating different customer environments on a single system. IT teams can extend the lifetime of legacy applications by using VirtualBox to run them on modern hardware. Sales teams can easily demonstrate complex, multi-tier solutions to prospective customers, using prepackaged environments with multiple virtual machines and network topologies on their laptop. Read the overview (PDF) Enables remote workers to access applications securely VirtualBox facilitates the distribution of desktop-based images of critical restricted applications by IT managers to remote workers when a VPN connection is considered insufficient. It helps organizations increase security with role-based restrictions to datasets within these applications. VirtualBox secures remote connections to restricted applications via 256-bit encryption keys, and ensures users cannot download or store data on remote devices. IT managers can avoid the cost and time of rearchitecting restricted applications while addressing compliance for remote application access.
