Along with the Mac transition to Apple silicon in 2020, VMware announced plans for Fusion to support the new M-series platform and ARM architecture, releasing a tech preview for M1 chips in September 2021. [10] In November 2022, VMware Fusion 13 was released, allowing ARM virtualization on Apple Silicon chips.
Parallels Desktop for Mac is a hypervisor providing hardware virtualization for Mac computers. It is developed by Parallels, a subsidiary of Corel.. Parallels was initially developed for Macintosh systems with Intel processors, with version 16.5 introducing support for Macs with Apple silicon.
VirtualBox has supported Open Virtualization Format (OVF) since version 2.2.0 (April 2009). [ 37 ] Both ISO images and physical devices connected to the host can be mounted as CD or DVD drives.
The Apple–Intel architecture, or Mactel, is an unofficial name used for Macintosh personal computers developed and manufactured by Apple Inc. that use Intel x86 processors, [not verified in body] rather than the PowerPC and Motorola 68000 ("68k") series processors used in their predecessors or the ARM-based Apple silicon SoCs used in their successors.

Parallels Workstation is the first commercial software product released by Parallels, Inc., a developer of desktop and server virtualization software.The Workstation software comprises a virtual machine suite for Intel x86-compatible computers (running Microsoft Windows or Linux) (for Mac version, see Parallels Desktop for Mac) which allows the simultaneous creation and execution of multiple ...
Cross-platform virtualization is a form of computer virtualization that allows software compiled for a specific instruction set and operating system to run unmodified on computers with different CPUs and/or operating systems, through a combination of dynamic binary translation and operating system call mapping.
The virtualization introduces only a negligible overhead and allows running hundreds of virtual private servers on a single physical server. In contrast, approaches such as full virtualization (like VMware ) and paravirtualization (like Xen or UML ) cannot achieve such level of density, due to overhead of running multiple kernels.
Hardware virtualization is the virtualization of computers as complete hardware platforms, certain logical abstractions of their componentry, or only the functionality required to run various operating systems. Virtualization emulates the hardware environment of its host architecture, allowing multiple OSes to run unmodified and in isolation.
