	              Alec Istomin, SWSoft 
                              -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.
