This allows Qemu to runs unmodified operating systems. All these devices are the exact software equivalent of existing hardware devices, and if the OS running in the guest has the proper drivers it will use the devices as if it were running on real hardware.

The PC hardware emulated by Qemu includes a mainboard, network controllers, scsi, ide and sata controllers, serial ports the complete list can be seen in the kvm 1 man page all of them emulated in software.

The emulation of PC clones is also one of the fastest due to the availability of processor extensions which greatly speed up Qemu when the emulated architecture is the same as the host architecture. Qemu can emulate a great variety of hardware from ARM to Sparc, but Proxmox VE is only concerned with 32 and 64 bits PC clone emulation, since it represents the overwhelming majority of server hardware. A guest operating system running in the emulated computer accesses these devices, and runs as it were running on real hardware. Qemu/KVM Virtual MachinesДЇrom the perspective of the host system where Qemu is running, Qemu is a user program which has access to a number of local resources like partitions, files, network cards which are then passed to an emulated computer which sees them as if they were real devices. Qemu short form for Quick Emulator is an open source hypervisor that emulates a physical computer.
