xVM VirtualBox 2.0 software will come with a support for 64-bit versions of operating systems like Windows Vista and RedHat Enterprise Linux, in addition to all other major host operating systems. The software also offers a new user interface for the Mac platform, improved networking for the Mac OS X and Solaris OS, as well as improved performance, especially on AMD chips. Additionally, customers who purchase an enterprise subscription will also receive a Right-to-Use License, allowing them to use the xVM VirtualBox platform using their own software deployment tools.
"Virtual desktops, such as those provided by the xVM VirtualBox software, are the future of business desktops because they are more flexible, manageable and secure than traditional PC architectures. Enterprises will be thrilled with the xVM VirtualBox platform because it provides them an easier way to deliver a standard operating environment across their enterprises" said Steve Wilson, vice president, xVM, Sun Microsystems.
xVM VirtualBox software lets users create 'virtual machines' into which they can install their operating system of choice, so developers can easily build, test and run cross-platform, multi-tier applications on a single laptop or desktop computer. A mere 20 megabyte download, xVM VirtualBox software can be installed in less than five minutes. Subscriptions start at $30 (USD) per user per year, which includes 24/7 support, and discounts are available based on volume.
