Nothing you don’t

We don’t believe in building complex features that most people don’t use and don’t want. We have

engineered Veertu to be light, simple and extremely responsive.

Light, fast and responsive

Veertu is 20MB light. Thats 20 times lighter than other Mac OS-X virtualization products which are in the 300-400 MB range. That coupled with the native OS-X integration makes it fast and responsive.

Low battery consumption

Veertu leaves all CPU management to OS-X which knows how to manage the battery best. Other virtualization solutions *compete* with OS-X for CPU and drain your battery faster.

Essential usability features

Veertu includes key usability features like full-screen mode for a seamless Windows and Linux experience, copy/paste between OS-X and Windows/Linux virtual machines and shared folders so you can access the same files from OS-X as well as Windows/Linux

Make it work in Two

simple steps

Step 1

Download and launch Veertu
from the app store

Simply go to the Apple App store, and download Veertu. You will see that it is available via the Launch Pad. Click on it to launch Veertu and you will see the Veertu Manager window. Then click on the ‘+’ button to add your first virtual machine.

Step 2

Install your first Virtual Machine
from an ISO

Select “download from the internet” and you will be presented with a catalog of virtual machines. Select any one you want – say Ubuntu 14 – and click next. Once your virtual machine is downloaded, you will be able to launch it in a secure environment.

(See here for instructions on how to install a Windows virtual machine on your Mac from an ISO using Veertu)

Built from the ground up for OS-X

with security in mind

Veertu’s unique technology converts OS-X itself into a hypervisor (virtualization platform).

Unlike other virtualization solutions like Parallels and VMware Fusion which are intrusive,

Veertu integrates seamlessly into OS-X.

Native OS-X virtualization

Traditional virtualization solutions are decades old, and modify the OS-X kernel itself – which Apple does not like. Hence they are not available on the App Store. Instead, Veertu is a 100% user-space implementation and leverages OS-X for scheduling, CPU management, memory management and more. Since Veertu is the only solution that uses OS-X’s hypervisor and VMNet framework (first introduced in OS-X Yosemite), it is approved by Apple for sale in the App Store.

Security

3rd party OS-X kernel drivers create security holes and compromise the security of your Mac. Veertu does not have any kernel modules. Instead, it implements all virtualization features in OS-X user-space – and uses only Apple approved OS-X kernel interfaces. Veertu’s approach makes it possible to run virtual machines without root permissions, thus maintaining your Mac’s stability and security.

Assured compatibility

Since traditional hypervisors rely on external OS-X kernel modules, they significantly negatively impact compatibility. If Apple releases a new version of OS-X, it may break traditional virtualization solutions that rely on these kernel modules. This forces you to upgrade your virtualization software and cost much more in the long run.
