It is often applies to execute untested code, or untrusted software from unverified third-parties, suppliers and untrusted users. It is doing for improving users security protection.

iCore Virtual Accounts Overview

iCore VA is an isolated virtual machine that runs on top of existing hardware and operating system.

iCore software allows you to create multiple Virtual Accounts (virtual machines) that can be easily created or deleted without affecting each others’ state or the state of the core operating system.

You can use iCore Virtual Accounts to keep different parts of your life separate. For example, use iCore:

to try new software safely;

to share your PC without worry;

to browse the internet securely.

Unlike many other virtual machines, iCore Virtual Account works on the OS kernel level. This results in:

No additional OS licenses requirement

Almost zero performance overhead

System hardware is fully utilized (like modern video card, game adapter and alike)

For several years leading early-stage venture capital firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson (DFJ) and Cisco hold Business Plan Competition for university and business school students. Thanks to Cisco  videoconferencing system the Standard Biz Plan Competition became global.

One of the finalists is iCore. Our business plan is based on technology that provides: OS-level virtualization software enabling multiple secure high-performance virtual machines on a Microsoft Windows desktop.
