This infographic gives a high level comparison between OpenVZ and KVM virtualization.
KVM:
- KVM is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V).
- KVM offers more degree of isolation since each user owns their kernel.
- KVM can host Linux, Windows, and other custom Operating Systems.
- KVM offers more security, full disk encryption, etc.
