[[Virtuozzo]]

See [[http://www.entitydata.com.au/vms.html|Virtual Machine Infrastructure]].

> We have implemented what is generally considered the most efficient, stable, scalable and cost efficient Virtualisation Technology available. Our solution based on Parallels Virtuozzo technology provides the incredible performance, scalability & high availability that is expected by our customers.

> Our software virtualisation solution based on Parallels Virtuozzo offers near "bare-metal" performance of Virtual Machines by allowing direct access to the physical hardware unlike traditional Hypervisor solutions. Our Virtual Machines are configured with "Dedicated Resources" which is the amount of physical memory & processor usage reserved for a particular Virtual Machine. Virtual Machines, however can burst beyond their Dedicated Resources and even utilise the full power of the physical server.
