 Define a Type 2 hypervisor, and provide two examples of a Type 2 hypervisor.

Correct Answer

verifed

verified

A Type 2 hypervisor installs in a host operating system as an application. Client Hyper-V, VirtualBox, and VMware Player are examples of Type 2 hypervisors. A Type 2 hypervisor is not as powerful as a Type 1 hypervisor because it is dependent on the host OS to allot its computing power. A VM in a Type 2 hypervisor is not as secure or as fast as a VM in a Type 1 hypervisor. Type 2 hypervisors are typically used on desktops and laptops when performance and security are not significant issues.
