![]() ![]() I'm sure XenServer and the Xen Project have these features built in, but I'd be curious to know how Gnome-Boxes handles it, or if it handles these situations better than VirtualBox. When assessing the two solutions, reviewers found VirtualBox easier to use and set up. Granted you can set a "Maximum" throttle for the CPU use, and the amount of virtual cores to use, but I don't believe I've seen settings to dynamically allocate memory (Perhaps the memory allocation is a maximum and it throttles it down/up in the background if needed?) VirtualBox - does not have this feature from my experience. VirtualBox is also a type 2 hypervisor that needs to be installed on a host OS. VMware Player, Workstation, and Fusion are type 2 hypervisors that need to be installed on a physical device with a host operating system. ![]() VMWare V-Sphere (I believe this was only available with an Enterprise license) has the nice bonus of being able to throttle up/down processors and cores and dynamic ram allocation - meaning if another VM requires more power or memory, it has the ability of doing so without going below certain thresholds that may impact performance overall. VMware ESXi is a type 1 hypervisor that needs to be installed on bare metal. I'm newish to Xenserver and definitely no experience with Gnome-Boxes (yet), but I've been using VirtualBox and VMWare for a few years now. ![]() Although speed is a relevant question, I think what would be more important is how it handles processor threads and memory allocation. ![]()
