{{Note|This comparison doesn't include Docker, because Docker is not a virtualization solution. It automates the deployment of applications inside software containers, by providing an additional layer of abstraction and automation of operating-system-level virtualization.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docker_(software) Wikipedia article about Docker]</ref>}}

== Virtuozzo main benefits in comparison to OpenVZ ==
 +
 +
* Ability to create Virtual Machines.
 +
: In addition to Containers, one can create full-scale VMs using a build-in hypervisor. Both Containers and Virtual Machines are managed by the same tools in a uniform way.
 +
 +
* Virtuozzo Storage.
 +
: A resilient and robust way to unify all your local nodes storage into a single highly available SAN-grade distributed storage system.
 +
 +
* Higher container density.
 +
: Virtuozzo provides efficient memory and file sharing mechanisms (VZFS or pfcache) enabling higher container density and better performance of containers.
 +
 +
* Unified management tools for CTs and VMs
 +
: Virtuozzo ships with number of management, monitoring, troubleshooting, and administration tools significantly reducing management, administration, and deployment costs. Specific tools include:
 +
<ul>
 +
: <li> [http://www.odin.com/support/virtualization-suite/pva Parallels Virtual Automation]</li>
 +
: <li> Number of additional CLI tools.</li>
 +
</ul>
 +
 +
* Support and maintenance.
 +
:Virtuozzo is a commercial product supported and maintained by Odin with options for 24×7 phone support and guarantees on maintenance schedules.
 +
 +
* Advanced recovery, monitoring, and back-up tools.
 +
 +
* Physical-to-Virtual (P2V) and Virtual-to-Physical (V2P) migration tools.
 +
: Those tools allow easy conversion of existing physical machines into a container (and vice-versa) facilitating the adoption of virtualized infrastructure.
 +
 +
* Common client-server XML-based management API.
 +
: API allows easily integration of Virtuozzo into existing management infrastructure and development of additional management and monitoring modules.
 +
 +
* Traffic accounting tools.
 +
: These tools enable bandwidth management and control for individual containers and provide additional security mechanisms for containers running on the same host.
 +
 +
== Other benefits of Virtuozzo ==
 +
 +
* Integration with [http://www.odin.com/products/plesk/ Plesk] solution.
 +
* Discounts on Plesk licenses.
 +
* Name-based hosting (no need for public IP for each container).
 +
* Easy to use installation utility.
