<VirtualBox 3.1 Killer Features ⁄ >

VirtualBox has always been leader in performance in the Virtualization world. With more than 20 .5 million copies of VirtualBox downloaded worldwide average a rate of 40,000 per day is now getting beaten with the release of new version.

Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source.

What comes new in the 3.1 is the Live Migration feature as the virtualization industry's first "Teleportation" capability, allowing running virtual machines to be moved between hosts - including different operating systems, types of computer (server to client) and CPUs (Intel to AMD).

What comes more is the marvellous new feature to restore from multiple virtual machine states of arbitrary snapshots and new snapshots can be taken from any snapshots (Branched Snapshots).
