One very nice feature in Veertu was the fact that it has an option to remap the Cmd key to Ctrl in the guest OS.

Guest OS drivers are available, and files in the host OS can be accessed seamlessly. When it comes to hardware support, we have the basic e1000 and rtl8139 virtual nics, LSI logic SAS controller for storage. It does virtualisation, and it does it well. When we look at features, there's not much to say. Personally, this is something i could explain to a non-technical person and not expect them to get hopelessly lost. When comparing Veertu to similar products, it just feels snappy, you don't get lost in menus and buttons everywhere, and it just works straight from the start.

From my personal experience, advanced features such as snapshotting, linked clones, virtual networks and the likes are hardly ever touched.Īnd this is where Veertu shines: they offer a no-frills desktop virtualisation product that does exactly what it needs to do, and does it lightning fast. For most of us, from the technical staff using virtualisation to test new products or build demo environments to the manager using virtualisation to run that last remaining windows-only piece of software on his Macbook, what we want is simply the possibility to run a virtual machine. When we look at the market for products to run virtual machines on your desktop, we have a few options: There's VMware Fusion and Parallels when we look at commercial products, and Virtualbox from the open source side, but they all universally suffer from one major flaw: feature bloat. I've been using it the last few days to run my virtual machines on my laptop, and so far it's been a breeze.

Recently i got in touch with Veertu, a startup focused on virtualisation aimed at the Mac OS X market, and they were kind enough to provide me with a license of their desktop virtualisation product to use and test.
