Virtualbox is a simple tool used for virtualization. This cross-platform application allows the system to execute multiple operating systems at a particular instant of time. A 64-bit chroot environment is required for the installation of virtualbox. For this installation, a package known as ‘build-essential’ is required, which consists of all the compiling tools necessary for building the kernel module. It facilitates Infrastructure consolidation, testing and disaster recovery. It also offers portability and hardware support.
