摘要：For long time the IT industry was in need of a solution that can reduce the load to users in deploying the heavy enterprise based applications on the servers, save their time and the expenses for their organizations. Virtualization technology has given a good solution for this issue by providing the mechanism of developing a self sufficient software application system that is pre-installed and pre-configured, easy to distribute and can be deployed without need of more hardware configurations but it can run on already being used resources using virtual machines. This new paradigm is called virtual appliance. In this paper the comprehensive study is done on technology involved, along with benefits and covers almost all the research that has been done with respect to it till today. This paper is aimed to help the future researchers in the field of the virtual appliance by providing them most of the details they require
