Clusterization features offered by Jelastic for our MariaDB instance are superb for Auto-replication **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nikitha S. | Cloud Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 27, 2022 **What do you like best about Virtuozzo?** We utilize MariaDB-as-a-Service from the Jelastic cloud platform as it doesn't require any deep knowledge for its installation & all its deployments are fully automated. It effectively eliminates the ris of having downtime through its multi-instance database structure implementations for our demands. With only a few clicks, we are able to start up with our fully functional MariaDB database which is convenient for us to focus more on working with our customer data rather than worrying about its infrastructure dependencies. **What do you dislike about Virtuozzo?** Jelastic platform provides crucial functionalities such as cluster management, optimization and auto-replication by default in all the deployments so there's good reliability. Further, we can also customize our configurations based on our environment specifics in order to make sure that we have the best cluster performance. Its services excel in cases where associates of our team who are new to cloud database management find the ease to work in its DBaaS platform & make use of its quick deployment solutions for our project requirements. **What problems is Virtuozzo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Jelastic platform benefits our database clusterization to deliver highly loaded production applications that require high data availability & performance. Configuration of database clusters can be quite challenging as it involves a lot of dependencies and administration but with clustering features offered by Jelastic, we are able to facilitate our deployments without those complexities. Once when we enable its auto-clustering option, it provides a highly available ProxySQL load balancer for providing high availability, automated cluster replication and cluster isolation. We can also control the node access with its Shared Load Balancer (SLB) feature as we use external applications and we don't wish to expose our clusters outside our organization for security governance. ### 3.

System admin with 6 years experience with openvz, daily user **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jayakrishnan A. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 03, 2020 **What do you like best about Virtuozzo?** The openvz containers are easy to manage, VZ commands are easy to remember and migrations from one node to another is super fast due to the decent compression, and restoration is also perfect. The support available in the obline forums is also gret. **What do you dislike about Virtuozzo?** The log files needs custom scripts to compress, SOmetimes without that script, system disk space is more utilized by the containers.There is also chances that the containers sometimes have difficulties to start from the control panels, so in such times we will have to login to the nodes whwre the server is hosted and will have to start the VM manually, but it occurs rarely. **Recommendations to others considering Virtuozzo:** Openvz is easy to manage. I have been using openvz for my company for past 6 years. I haven't encountered any difficulties that I couldn't manage from my end. The troubleshooting is easy because of the wide range of user forums available and I didn't even had to reach their support for an actual issue I am facing. Everything I needed was already easily available already in their forums. I would definitely reccomend openvz for anyone who is looking for a decent virtualization. VPS and network management is really simplified by openvz **What problems is Virtuozzo solving and how is that benefiting you?** OS management, Openvz reduces the botheration of managing the OS for every virtual machines. It is really a peace of mind. The ease of managing a openvz container is far better than using any other virtualiztion like kvm/Xen. ### 5.

OpenVZ - mostly gets you there **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2020 **What do you like best about Virtuozzo?** Once you get familiar with it, it is a pretty capable and easy to use platform. It allows you to quickly get an overview of how the system in whole is behaving, and to jump into a container causing issues for other containers on the host, and resolve the issue. The provisioning of the containers is pretty fast, allowing quick delivery time for new clients. It is a free solution (which allows to ignore some of the potential issues which come with using it). When setup with a proper backup solution, it becomes a pretty sturdy solution for what it does. **What do you dislike about Virtuozzo?** Aforementioned "issues for other containers on the host" are the biggest issue - one misbehaving container on the host can cause headache for all other sharing clients, which in worst case scenario makes them regret moving from shared hosting to higher price solution, to again be greeted with the same issues. High number of active containers on the host can lead to disk IO issues, slowing down all containers. Occasionally network issues arose (interfaces missing, IPs being lost, connectivity problems). **Recommendations to others considering Virtuozzo:** If you are not ready (or finances do not allow) to go with cloud solutions, the containerization which OpenVZ offers is a pretty stable solution, and you might have a pretty good uptime score. It is worth to take into account the issues which might arise with shared responsibility for the underlying host stability, when you host multiple clients, but with a proper monitoring and backup systems in place you should be ok. **What problems is Virtuozzo solving and how is that benefiting you?** In what it does it is pretty good - servers are not being underutilized when multiple containers are running on them. The clients have more freedom in choosing what kind of OS and environment would they like to use. With SolusVM in the mix the managing and provision of the new containers was a breeze. ### 22. openvz is best in class **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** J J S. | IT staff **Reviewed Date:** March 02, 2021 **What do you like best about Virtuozzo?** Maturity, performance and feature set stand out from the others **What do you dislike about Virtuozzo?** Lack of web management interface in free version **What problems is Virtuozzo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Virtualization with containers and VMs under one roof, with good performance and reliability ### 23. a low cost ,secure and stable virtualisation , **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Hari S. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 09, 2021 **What do you like best about Virtuozzo?** Managing the Vm , panel , stable . its really easy to create one VM and increasing the resource from the admin panel **What do you dislike about Virtuozzo?** For Windows , some times if main node has to be restarted all the vm's will get rebooted . **What problems is Virtuozzo solving and how is that benefiting you?** we had brute force attack , enabled network level authentication which is resolved. ### 24.

It acts like a container like LXC. Low overhead. **What do you dislike about Virtuozzo?** Configuration of hardware resources are cumbersome, specially the container memory params. I had to calculate and understand all those parameters. More user friendly template based configuration would have helped. I used to do it few years ago and every time I had to read and understand "Container Memory Parameters". **What problems is Virtuozzo solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were using one server hardware to create multiple VM instance per customer. So, they need to be as low resource hungry as possible. We have achieved quite a bit of VM density with this model. ### 28.

Great Container Platform **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Defense & Space | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 14, 2019 **What do you like best about Virtuozzo?** Although it is not the most popular container platform out there, OpenVZ is, and always has been, a very good container platform with a wide variety of features and a great deal of configuration. One of the really nice things about OpenVZ as opposed to Docker is that it allows from bridging network interfaces so that containers can be directly attached to the physical network that the host is on. This can be very useful in situations that are outside of Docker's wheelhouse. **What do you dislike about Virtuozzo?** It isn't a very well-known platform, and isn't the easiest to configure. You have to do a lot of manual, from-scratch configuration, whereas Docker is ready to go out-of-the-box. **Recommendations to others considering Virtuozzo:** If you need something that isn't Docker, and that gives you more flexibility than Docker, OpenVZ is the way to go. A very, very powerful container tool. **What problems is Virtuozzo solving and how is that benefiting you?** I used it to help put legacy applications into containers that I didn't want to run the older version of the operating system on. It helps protect those applications but still provide the operating environment required for those applications. ### 45.
