Not only is VirtualBox an extremely feature rich, high performance product for enterprise customers, it is. Once you have VirtualBox installed on your Linux system, the setup and installation process for a Windows virtual machine takes only a matter of minutes. They can produce something to improve that aspect slightly. VirtualBox is a family of x86 virtualization products for enterprise as well as home use. You do get something called host profiles, which they've also improved slightly, however, I still think it's a bit clunky in terms of the way you can manage it. That's caused a number of issues already. That's one of the key things that I need really, from a support perspective. I would say for me personally, the management aspect with large memory and in-memory databases for the motions and stuff like that is what it needs. We are always sort of one or two versions behind. That's a big pain point that the firmware management of the underlying hardware should handle. VMware doesn't really cater to it, however, Nutanix to some degree does cater for. If done once and you dont change the hardware of your virtual machine, next time you can go straight to 10 and activate again. It can be installed on multiple systems running. Now you should be able to automatically activate. QEMU: QEMU which stands for Quick Emulator is an open-source Virtualizer that makes running a guest OS as simple as executing any other task. That said, one of the problems is that when we're sort of behind big memory servers and the databases in them if you migrate it, it potentially breaks the system off. QEMU-KVM with Virtual Machine Manager GUI frontend is the best alternative for VirtualBox and VMWare Workstation. Install Windows 7 or 8 in the virtual machine, activate it and then upgrade to 10. If you have to do firmware upgrades, it's organizing downtime and all sorts of things, which normally in a VMS space isn't an issue. They have embedded some of this in 7.1, however, I haven't tested it or seen it in action as yet. It's an in-memory database and that can sometimes cause issues. The biggest thing is the firmware upgrades and other items at the backend. The biggest pain point is probably the firmware management of the underlying hardware.
