→Now My favorite utility: new section
I chose OpenVZ over other virtualizations because OpenVZ is fast and efficient. It is in fact the most fast an efficient because it sacrifices some of the features of true virtualization. It's Linux only and has a single kernel. But my needs are Linux only and OpenVZ has almost no overhead at all. It doesn't leave memory fragmented into virtual machines that never use all their ram. Instead the memory limits are just caps and memory usage depends on what you run.It's fast, it's simple, and it just works.

OK: I did discover that it has serious failings when used as an FTP server. But I can run 3 complete and independant web servers on a Pentium-4 machine with 512 Meg ram and a single 80 Gig drive with space, memory, and cycles to spare!! KILLER!
We now have a true server class machine running about 120 client web sites used for accessing a special web application. I think LXC might do that, I could not deploy and tune so many in a year: with openvz I could do that many in a week. It would only take THAT long because of the individual data links for the application.
I just wish Corporate would allow me to purchase commercial product to gain the central management!
