1. What is Virtualization?

Virtualization refers to the process of making a “virtual version” of something like hardware or
software- virtual servers, infrastructure, devices and computing resources. For example,
creating a virtual machine that serves as a real-life computer. Virtualization is the execution of a
certain version of an object, such as a server, desktop, storage device, application or network
resources". In other words, Virtualization is a process, which allows for the sharing of a single
example or source application between clients and multiple organizations. It does so by
providing a logical name for physical storage and by providing a reference to that portable
source on a regular basis.

2. What is Virtual Machine?

The virtual machine is the environment of the app installed on the software. The virtual
machine behaves like a real computer. Simply put, it is like creating a computer within an
existing computer. Working in a window, no matter what the end user experience in the
operating system, the same type of experience can happen while using Virtual Machine.

3. What is Oracle VM VirtualBox?

VirtualBox is a cross-platform application. It installs on your existing and extends the power of
your existing computer so that it can run multiple applications (within multiple virtual
machines) simultaneously. Oracle VM VirtualBox is a powerful Cross-platform Virtualization
Software for x86 based applications. "Cross-platform" means install on Windows, Linux, Mac OS
X and Solaris x86 computers. And "Virtualization Software" means you can create and run
multiple Virtual Machines, running different operating systems, on the same computer at the
same time. For example, you can use Windows and Linux on your Mac, use Linux and Solaris on
your Windows PC, or use Windows on your Linux programs.
