About Parallels Workstation
Parallels® Workstation is the most powerful, easy-to-use, cost-effective desktop virtualization
solution available today. It empowers any user, from experienced professional developers to
sales executives and home users, with the ability to create completely networked, totally secure
independent virtual machines on a single physical machine.

Parallels Workstation 2.2 is powered by a lightweight hypervisor, a thin layer of software that is
between part of the host computer’s hardware and the primary operating system. The
lightweight hypervisor controls some of the host computer's hardware resources, resulting in
dramatically more stable, more secure, and higher-performing virtual machines.

Parallels Workstation sophisticated virtualization engine enables each virtual machine to operate
identically to a stand-alone computer. Each virtual machine works with its own processor,
RAM, floppy, CD and DVD drives, I/O devices, and hard disk – everything a physical computer
contains. See the Virtual Machine Equipment (page 11) topic for the full list of Parallels Virtual
Machine devices.
