Connect USB devices to virtual machines through the network

USB Device Connection to Virtual Machines

While virtual machines (VMs) have been widely deployed, and the market is growing, USB device connectivity in a virtual environment is still challenging. The availability of a USB driver depends on the VMs' platform and version. The compatibility with a certain type of USB device is often limited. Even when a USB device becomes available, it can be bonded to a physical server, hence no longer a fully virtualized environment. Silex's USB device server builds virtual USB device connectivity in a virtual environment.
