OpenVZ is containerscontainer-type based virtualization on for Linux. OpenVZ creates multiple secure, isolated containers (otherwise known as VEs or VPSs) on a single physical server enabling better server utilization and ensuring that applications do not conflict. Each container performs and executes exactly like a stand-alone server; a container can be rebooted independently and have root access, users, IP addresses, memory, processes, files, applications, system libraries and configuration files. For more information about the technology and how it differs from the others like Xen, VMware etc., see [[introduction to virtualization]], [[download:doc/openvz-intro.pdf|doc/openvz-intro.pdf]] (73K) or [[wikipedia:OpenVZ]].
OpenVZ is free open source software, available under GNU GPL.
OpenVZ is the basis of [http://www.parallels.com/virtuozzo Parallels Virtuozzo Containers], a commercial virtualization solution offered by [http://www.parallels.com/ Parallels]. OpenVZ project is supported by [http://www.parallels.com/ Parallels].
