^ See [20] for a paper comparing performance of paravirtualization approaches (e.g. Xen) with OS-level virtualization ^ Requires patches/recompiling. ^ Exceptional for lightweight, paravirtualized, single-user VM/CMS interactive shell: largest customers run several thousand users on even single prior models.
Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is a free and open-source virtualization module in the Linux kernel that allows the kernel to function as a hypervisor. It was merged into the mainline Linux kernel in version 2.6.20, which was released on February 5, 2007. [ 1 ]
The proprietary extension pack adds a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 controller and, if VirtualBox acts as an RDP server, it can also use USB devices on the remote RDP client, as if they were connected to the host, although only if the client supports this VirtualBox-specific extension (Oracle provides clients for Solaris, Linux, and Sun Ray thin clients ...
VMware KVM; WSX 1.1; 10.0.1 [40] 24 October 2013 Improved compatibility with some AMD Piledriver CPUs; Easy Install support for Windows 8.1 RTM and Windows Server 2012 R2 RTM; Fixes for certain hangs and freezes; 10.0.2 [41] 17 April 2014 The compatibility and performance of USB audio and video devices with virtual machines has been improved.
When multiple VMs are concurrently running on the hard drive of the actual host, adjunct virtual machines may exhibit a varying and/or unstable performance (speed of execution and malware protection). This depends on the data load imposed on the system by other VMs, unless the selected VM software provides temporal isolation among virtual machines.

x86 virtualization is the use of hardware-assisted virtualization capabilities on an x86/x86-64 CPU.. In the late 1990s x86 virtualization was achieved by complex software techniques, necessary to compensate for the processor's lack of hardware-assisted virtualization capabilities while attaining reasonable performance.
An ideal pre-paging scheme would mask large majority of network faults, although its performance depends upon the memory access pattern of the VM's workload. Post-copy sends each page exactly once over the network whereas pre-copy can transfer the same page multiple times if the page is dirtied repeatedly at the source during migration.
