I primarily use the solution for testing purposes. Oracle VM VirtualBox is used majorly for creating virtual machine servers, Windows servers, specifically for Windows 10 or 11 clients. The solution is further used to configure multi-directories and implement the testing process.
I have mounted it with GlusterFS and I use it along with three on-prem physical nodes with Arch Linux's operating system and 12 VLANs to support around 50 VMs in different environments (TESTS, DEMOS, PRODUCTION).
I use it because my desktop is on Linux, and sometimes I need to open Microsoft Office or some VPN, which cannot use Linux. I start my VM Windows just to connect to some VPNs or to launch Microsoft Office.
The primary use case of the solution is to develop, test, and deploy solutions on multi-software platforms so that users can use solutions on different platforms such as Windows, Linux, Solaris, and Macintosh. This also will help users and groups to use the devices they are comfortable with and not depend on a specific platform. Users no need to wait for very powerful machines instead they can use their laptops or desktop to test or solve to see whether it really works or meet their needs.
We use this solution to quickly set up and test our new software releases on different operating system versions. We used this for onboarding applications running on smaller equipment, as we noticed that it uses less resouces compared to other hypervisor systems. This helped our passengers to get better services while travelling, such as entertainment, movies, games, details about the trip, et cetera. The images used can easily be shipped with the onboard hardware. We can also port or convert other types of images too.
I use the solution for personal use and in a professional environment. We use a couple of them. We use it to prepare environments to deploy them on another VM environment like VMware. We need to prepare the machine for the quality and we use this.
We use Oracle VM VirtualBox in combination with Oracle Database. We also run Tomcat inside VirtualBox. Within our organization, there are five people using this solution.
I use it for experimenting with different operating systems in user environments. I also use it to have a backup to the Windows so that I can access Windows, and it is up and running. I don't have to worry about building a system from scratch.

My personal one is to create virtual machines to do different things within the house. I have a few servers in the house, and the servers themselves run lots of the services that we need, but sometimes you need to have a service that is run on a kind of a "dedicated machine." So, instead of having a physical machine to run those services, we just create a virtual one. It just spins off like a virtual machine, and everything works okay. Some of the machines that are for more home automation and other such things don't need very powerful processes or much memory. They are very suitable to be run on virtual machines. They can have their own IP addresses and can be reached from the outside of the home.
I primarily use the solution to build a machine and transfer it to vCenter. I also occasionally use it to transform from a VirtualBox machine to an ESXi machine.
We use VirtualBox for running our ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and a host of websites. The underlying operating system is Solaris, which we run on VirtualBox virtualized, and it is running exceptionally well. Then I run VirtualBox as a hypervisor and use Windows (when necessary) and Linux. I run a whole host of websites on Linux virtualized using VirtualBox and we also run our ERP — Xpert ERP — on VirtualBox.
I use Oracle VM VirtualBox mainly for testing guest environments and to test beta machines before they go in production environment. I also simulate configuration before the production environment to test some optionality.

My main purpose in using this solution is to run Windows machines on top of my Linux servers. I am running a Windows server on top of a Linux machine and then another four machines just to create an environment for our clients so that people can log in. Because they don't find Linux easy to use, I give them windows on top which they find more familiar.
I use it to test new technologies on my desktop. I also teach virtual machines, so I give demos or training programs. I can show people how servers work. So I use it for training purposes.
Oracle VM VirtualBox is a robust AMD64/Intel64 and x86 next-generation virtualization solution that functions well for home use and is also powerful enough to handle the needs of a busy enterprise organization. This professional solution is open source and provides super-fast high performance in addition to many outstanding value-added features. VirtualBox functions effectively on Windows, macOS, Solaris, Linux, and more. Users can benefit from VirtualBox's dedication to continually...
I use VirtualBox in almost all environments. I use it in testing, developing, and production, with very good results.
