                              -on
OpenVirtuozzo, Virtuozzo, Parallels and mores


Unless you've been to Mars and back the past couple of years, chances 
are that you've heard something about virtualization. It is one of the hottest 
trends in technology right now, yet market adoption is still in its early stages.

"Virtualization" is not however, a generic term that defines every type of 
technology. "Containers," "hypervisors," "paravirtualization" and "OS 
virtualization" are distinct approaches - each having its own application 
and strength.

Please join us on Wednesday evening as NYLUG.org continues its 
exploration of virtualization technologies. Alec Istomin from SWSoft 
will cover the virtualization landscape and discusses technologies outside 
of VMware. In addition to Virtuozzo and Parallels from SWSoft, he will 
also review Sun containers, Microsoft's upcoming Viridian, and open source 
offerings including Xen, KVM and OpenVZ.

Alec will also present a demonstration of Virtuozzo/OpenVZ and open 
the floor up to questions. More information can be found at:

        * OpenVZ
        * Virtuozzo
        * Parallels.com
