I'll be missing my friends at:

and many more actually (they are too many to list here)

Note: My schedule is running almost full, so should you want to chip in, do let me know. Or else we'll be closing the interview session planning. (I need to also meet our friends personally over Dinner and have some beer/wine. I have one planned with Veeam and the other with Citrix/Microsoft). These interviews will be conducted for Virtualization.com. We might also end up interviewing the Founder/CEO of Virtualization.com, Mr. Toon Vanagt sometime later.

I'll be issuing a final call on Saturday.

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. Finally, OS virtualization with Virtuozzo has a lower list price than the leading hypervisor for comme...
