# Paravirtual hardware
*Paravirtual hardware are emulated hardware or devices that can be found in a virtual environment. Contrary to other emulated hardware, they don't intend to mimic a particular piece of real hardware. More details on the [lexicon](/virt/lexicon)*
[Paravirtual hardware](/virt/lexicon#paravirtualization) are emulated hardware or devices that can be found in a virtual environment. Contrary to other emulated hardware, they don't intend to mimic a particular piece of real hardware.
In this section, the focus is oriented towards Virtual I/O Devices (VIRTIO), also known as the `virtio` family of devices:
