[Users] How OVZ community treats Vz7

[Jehan Procaccia]

Hello list,

are  there conclusions on this "survey" ?

we are please to move from our openVZ6 to Vz7 , but still questionning :
1) will it be possible to backup  CTs , regarding 
https://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&th=13160&start=0 it is 
challenging !?
2) as an academic institution, we cannot  move to commercial virtuozzo7 
(yet), will we loose features by moving  from vz6 to Vz7 (other than 1) 
backup !) , is https://openvz.org/Comparison up2date ?
3) what is the core of CTs in Vz7 , proxmox 4 uses LXC, others uses 
docker or whatever ... I am curious to know on what technology are based 
CTs in openvz 7 ?
4) what is the "market share" of virtuozzo7 and Vz7 , is there an 
independant study or internal stats featuring virtualization solutions 
usage over ISPs, hosting companies and other institutions ? what is the 
place of virtuozzo7 and/or community Vz7 in this world ?

Regards .
