QEMU

QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer.

When used as a machine emulator, QEMU can run OSes and programs made for one machine (e.g. an ARM board) on a different machine (e.g. your own PC). By using dynamic translation, it achieves very good performance.

When used as a virtualizer, QEMU achieves near native performances by executing the guest code directly on the host CPU. QEMU supports virtualization when executing under the Xen hypervisor or using the KVM kernel module in Linux. When using KVM, QEMU can virtualize x86, server and embedded PowerPC, and S390 guests.

We work alongside with the QEMU developers to provide feedback and improvements.

We are the maintainers of the QEMU Official OS Support List, and we provide drivers for guest operating systems for download.

Coming soon, we will also present the QEMU USB Video Class Webcam emulation for Linux hosts:
