Oracle VM VirtualBox 4.0 |
| 12-25-2010 |
Usability Improvements
A major revamp of the VirtualBox Manager with features such as VM Preview, an orderable VM list, and optional attribute panes, allows admins or power users to customize the interface to make it as simple or as comprehensive as they require.
Easy shortcut creation enables users to launch vm's from their Desktop, Start Menu, or from scripts, without the need to start the VirtualBox Manager.
The new scaleable display mode allows users to accommodate more virtual displays on the same amount of physical screen real-estate.
Increased capacity and throughput
New Asynchronous I/O model for networked (iSCSI) and local storage delivers significant storage related performance improvements, especially over 1GB LANs.
Improved ability to run larger vms on smaller 32-bit hosts. This enables large vms, for example, Oracle datacenter-class products, to run on desktop systems such as 32-bit Windows hosts.
Powerful Virtual Appliance sharing
Strongest support for the Open Virtualization Formats in industry. This release strengthens Oracle's commitment to standards, with the adoption of ovf and now ova format appliances
Version 4.0 also provides easier direct sharing of vms too, with a new configuration storage model. This new configuration storage model holds all information about a virtual machine, such as virtual hardware, virtual disk files, snapshots and saved state files into a single folder. |
