Kullanıcılara bir den fazla işletim sistemini tamamen birbirinden yalıtılmış ortamlarda gerçek zamanlı olarak çalıştırma olanağı sunan yazılım, Apple`ın kısa bir süre öncesinde sunduğu Boot Camp`dan çok daha fazlasını vermekte. Boot Camp ile Mac`inizde sadece Windows XP kullanmak mümkünken Parallels Workstation sayesinde bütün işletim sistemlerini gerçek zamanlı olarak Pc`nizde kullanmak mümkün olacak. Parallels Workstation`ı daha önce çıkmış ve hali hazırda kullanılmakta olan diğer simülasyon yazılımlarından ayıran en büyük fark Intel`in VT teknolojisine destek vermesi oluyor.XP ile Vista veya XP ile Linux aynı anda kullanılabilir.

A powerful desktop virtualization solution that enables users to create multiple independently operating, completely self-contained virtual machines on a single PC. Virtual machines can be created to run a wide range of popular operating systems, including the entire Windows family, Linux distributions from Mandrake, Red Hat and SUSE, OS/2 and FreeBSD.

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 Solution

Parallels Workstation 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.

Parallels Workstation - это виртуальная машина для персональных компьютеров, позволяющая установить несколько операционных систем на одном компьютере (например, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD или OS/2) и работать с ними без перезагрузки. Виртуальная машина Parallels Workstation запускается как программа под управлением основной операционной системы и создает набор виртуальных компьютеров, в каждом из которых может быть запущена своя гостевая операционная система. Каждый виртуальный компьютер имеет свой виртуальный процессор, набор виртуальных устройств и полную сетевую поддержку. Запустить на одном компьютере множество изолированных, стабильных и производительных виртуальных машин сможет с его помощью любой пользователь, независимо от квалификации.
