Description-en: server virtualization solution - control tools
OpenVZ is an Operating System-level server virtualization solution, built
on Linux. OpenVZ creates isolated, secure virtual private servers on a single
physical server enabling better server utilization and ensuring that
applications do not conflict. Each VPS performs and executes exactly like a
stand-alone server; VPSs can be rebooted independently and have root access,
users, IP addresses, memory, processes, files, applications, system libraries
and configuration files.
.
This package contain the control tool to manipulate the virtual servers.
.
OBSERVE! You need a Linux kernel patched with openvz support.
