InnoTek said they will exhibit at the world’s largest IT trade show, CeBIT 2007 in Hannover, Germany, taking place from March 15th until March 21st. During the show, InnoTek will demonstrate VirtualBox running on Linux, Windows and Mac OS, discuss VirtualBox development and provide technical support. Some of the interesting features of VirtualBox include: Unprecedented modularity – VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a clean design that separates client and server code. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a VM simply by clicking on a button in the VirtualBox main program and then control that machine from the command line, or even remotely. Due to its modular architecture, VirtualBox can also expose its full functionality and configurability through a comprehensive software development kit (SDK). Easy portability – VirtualBox already runs on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 as well as on all major Linux distributions from Red Hat, Novell and others. In addition, a version for use on embedded μkernel systems is available. Versions for 64-bit host operating systems and for Mac OS X will be available soon. Arbitrary screen resolutions (host-controlled) – In guest systems that support it (currently Windows guests), you can change the guest resolution simply by resizing the virtual machine window in the host system. Multigeneration snapshots – VirtualBox can save successive snapshots of the state of the virtual machine. You can revert the virtual machine to the state of any of the snapshots. VRDP remote access – You can run any virtual machine in a special VirtualBox program that acts as a server for the VirtualBox Remote Desktop Protocol (VRDP). With this unique feature, VirtualBox provides high-performance remote access to any virtual machine. A custom RDP server has been built directly into the virtualization layer and offers unprecedented performance and feature richness. Extensible RDP authentication – VirtualBox already supports Winlogon on Windows and PAM on Linux for RDP authentication. In addition, it includes an easy-to-use SDK which allows you to create arbitrary interfaces for other methods of authentication. USB over RDP – Via RDP virtual channel support, VirtualBox also allows you to connect arbitrary USB devices locally to a virtual machine which is running remotely on a VirtualBox RDP server. Folder sharing – VirtualBox folder sharing lets you access files from the host system inside guests. Shared folders can be set up for all virtual machines, or for a single VM. Temporary shared folders may also be set up while a VM is running.You can download VirtualBox, here. Software Development
