Virtuozzo's main differentiators versus hypervisors center on overhead, virtualization flexibility, administration and cost. Virtuozzo requires significantly less overhead than hypervisor solutions, generally in the range of 1% to 5% compared with 7% to 25% for most hypervisors, leaving more of the system available to run user workloads. Customers can also virtualize a wider range of applications using Virtuozzo, including transactional databases, which often suffer from performance problems when used with hypervisors. On the administration side, customers need to manage, maintain and secure just a single OS instance, while the hypervisor model requires customers to manage many OS instances. Of course, the hypervisor vendors have worked hard to automate much of this process, but it still requires more effort to manage and maintain multiple operating systems than a single instance.

Where's the bar?
ReplyDeleteI spoke to Richard (the guy who organized the TSX) last night and it is going to be a bit heavier, so I understood. Well Diane and/or Mendel will do a keynote, I'll miss that one as I'm meeting my new CEO (AtosOrigin) that afternoon before flying over to Cannes.
ReplyDeleteThe most important to me is to meet peers, like yourselves, and other participants. I have a lot of friends within security circles, VCs (who want to get it straight about this virtualization hype and invest wisely).
Anthony: We'll find one, if not , we'll hijack one and place it in the middle of the conference ;-)
Tom: Nope, not yet.
Still ready to drink (not virtual) beers !
