bhyve (pronounced "bee hive", formerly written as BHyVe) is a type-2[1][2] hypervisor initially written for FreeBSD.[3] It can also be used on Mac OS X, as well as a number of illumos based distributions including SmartOS[4] and OmniOS[5]

Features

bhyve supports the virtualization of several guest operating systems, including FreeBSD 9+, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Linux, illumos, DragonFly and Windows NT[6] (Windows Vista and later, Windows Server 2008 and later). Current development efforts aim at widening support for other operating systems for the x86-64 architecture.
