I have both and Virtuozzo has less overhead then Xen. It is the reverse. I use XEN because I need to virtualize Windows along with Linux. But rest assured, OpenVZ and Virtuozzo are one or several steps ahead. The management tools are far more sophisticated in Virtuozzo and the support is amazing, it cannot be compared.

Its not really fair to compare Xen and OpenVZ/Virtuozzo.
Xen is a virtualisation environment.

Hi Rob,

Basically there’s 2 reasons why I’m looking at Xen:

1. Cost of licencing for Virtuozzo which is based on how many CPUs etc.

2. Xen has better IO performance compared to Virtuozzo. It’s been shown on a few forums that Xen can have 3 times the disk IO performance.

Does anyone have any answers to my original questions?

Regards,
Alan

 I am interested in deploying Xen to replace an existing Virtuozzo based

 virtual server solution we are currently using.

I'm curious about your shift from Virtuozzo: is that because you needed
something other than Virtuozzo does? or because Virtuozzo proved to be
ineffective in some way?

I'm asking because I'm being urged to work with Virtuozzo, and wanted to
know if there were some pitfalls in using it that were evident in
people's experiences with it.

Appreciate any thoughts you can share.
