Many may wonder what exactly the difference between OpenVZ and Virtuozzo is.
Virtuozzo is based off OpenVZ, which means it adds a few features. Which are that?

  • Management interface (GUI)
  • RAM management
  • VZFS (allows for disk and memory savings very similiar to Linux-VServer's copy-on-write system called "unification")
  • Commercial support

OpenVZ is mostly run by Parallels (owner of Virtuozzo) employees, who maintain OpenVZ as the core functionality of Virtuozzo.
