Compare the Top Virtualization Software for Linux as of January 2026

What is Virtualization Software for Linux?

Virtualization software enables the creation and management of virtual machines (VMs) that emulate physical computers. By abstracting the underlying hardware, it allows multiple operating systems to run on a single physical machine, improving resource utilization and flexibility. Virtualization provides an isolated environment for applications, increasing security and stability by preventing conflicts between different software systems. It also simplifies the management of IT infrastructure, as virtual machines can be easily created, cloned, and moved between different hosts. This technology is crucial for businesses looking to scale their operations, optimize resource usage, and improve disaster recovery processes. Compare and read user reviews of the best Virtualization software for Linux currently available using the table below. This list is updated regularly.
