Parallels Workstation v2.2.2222

Parallels Workstation: One Machine. Multiple
Operating Systems. Unlimited Possibilities.
Parallels Workstation is the most powerful,
easiest-to-use, cost-effective desktop virtual PC
solution available today. It empowers any user, from
experienced professional developers to sales
executives to casual home users, with the ability to
create completely networked, totally secure
independent, maximally stable virtual machines on a
single physical machine.

Trusted Technology for Powerful Performance

Parallels Workstation is a hardware emulation
virtualization solution. This stable, trusted
technology maps the host computer's hardware
resources directly to each virtual PC's resources,
allowing each virtual machine to operate identically
to a stand-alone computer. Parallels Workstation's
sophisticated virtual machine engine enables each
virtual machine to work with its own processor, RAM,
floppy and CD drives, I/O devices, and hard disk -
everything a physical computer contains.


The World's First Hypervisor-powered Virtual PC

Parallels Workstation 2.0 is the first desktop
virtualization solution to include a lightweight
hypervisor, a mature technology originally developed
in the 1960s to maximize the power of large
mainframes. Hypervisor technology dramatically
improves virtual machine stability, security and
performance by using a thin layer of software,
inserted between the machine's hardware and the
primary operating system, to directly control some
of the host machine's hardware profiles and
resources. It not only makes Parallels
Workstation-powered virtual machines secure, stable
and efficient, but also empowers users to
immediately realize the benefits associated with
Intel VT hardware virtualization architecture.
