[Users] "Virtuzzo" vs "OpenVZ"

[Sergey Bronnikov]

Hi,

let me explain.

>From source code point of view OpenVZ is an umbrella for OpenVZ legacy, opensourced
components from commercial Virtuozzo, CRIU and other mini projects (like LibCT
etc).
>From people point of view OpenVZ is project which consolidates community,
opensource code for containers (mentioned above), and brand itself.

Virtuzzo 7 is a Linux distribution based on OpenVZ components targeted to
everyone who want to get free product with containers and KVM hypervisor from
Odin. You can use it even you don't want to pay to Odin.

Use one entry point - https://openvz.org if you use free and opensource Virtuozzo
and go to http://www.odin.com/products/virtuozzo/ if you pay for Virtuozzo
and want professional support from Odin.

P.S. Yes, there is a bit mess with brands, but why you are aware about brands
not about product itself?

Unexpected fact. Do you have proofs?
