'''Virtuozzo''' is [http://www.odin.com/ Odin] virtualization and automation solution built on top of OpenVZ. Virtuozzo provides improvements and additional functionality in the areas of density, management tools, recovery, and other areas. Specific benefits of Virtuozzo compared to OpenVZ can be found below:
== Main benefits ==

: 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.
