OpenVZ is an open-source, container-based virtualization solution designed for Linux environments. It enables the creation of multiple secure and isolated Linux containers, known as Virtual Environments (VEs) or Virtual Private Servers (VPSs), on a single physical server. This architecture allows for enhanced server utilization and prevents application conflicts, making it ideal for IT professionals and businesses. Each container operates independently, with its own root access, users, IP addresses, and system resources, thus functioning like a stand-alone server.

The software is well-suited for a variety of organizations, including mid-sized businesses, enterprises, and startups. OpenVZ supports integration with several services such as Byethost, SolusVM, StrongDM, and Virtuozzo, facilitating a seamless user experience. Documentation is provided for training, ensuring users can effectively leverage the software's capabilities. With a subscription-based licensing model, OpenVZ is positioned as a robust solution for advanced server virtualization needs.
