OpenVZ is container-based virtualization 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]], {{PDFlink|[[download:doc/openvz-intro.pdf|doc/openvz-intro.pdf]]|73 KB}} 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].
== Installation and usage ==
OpenVZ is easy to install if you already have Linux installed on your machine. See [[quick installation]] for installation info. Alternatively, you can try a [[Download live CD|live CD]] to test drive the technology without a need to install anything.
A comprehensive {{PDFlink|[[download:doc/OpenVZ-Users-Guide.pdf|doc/OpenVZ-Users-Guide.pdf]]| 1.3 MB}} is a good start. This wiki also has a lot of information (use search function, see [[Special:Categories|list of all categories]] or [[Special:Allpages|list of all pages]].
== Support ==
Please read the documentation before asking questions. Check the [[FAQ]], use [[google:openvz|Google]], search both this wiki and the [[forum:index.php?t=search|forum]]. If this doesn't help, ask on either [[forum:|forum]] or a [[mailing list]].
Please report all bugs to [http://bugzilla.openvz.org/ OpenVZ bugzilla].
'''Commercial support''' is also available, email sales@openvz.org for details.
== Testimonials ==
<i>I'm curious. For the past few months, people@openvz.org have discovered
(and fixed) an ongoing stream of obscure but serious and quite
long-standing bugs.
How are you discovering these bugs?</i>
