About Parallels Virtuozzo Containers 4.7
Parallels Virtuozzo Containers 4.7 is a patented OS virtualization solution. It creates isolated
partitions or Containers on a single physical server and OS instance to utilize hardware, software,
data center and management effort with maximum efficiency. The basic Parallels Virtuozzo
Containers capabilities are:
• Intelligent Partitioning—Division of a server into as many as hundreds of Containers with
full server functionality.
• Complete Isolation—Containers are secure and have full functional, fault and performance
isolation.
• Dynamic Resource Allocation—CPU, memory, network, disk and I/O can be changed
without rebooting.
• Mass Management—Suite of tools and templates for automated, multi-Container and multi-
server administration.
