I'm not saying you will have issues with OpenVZ and Asterisk...just that we did (a couple of years ago) and they went away when we rehosted on VMWare. It may work fine for you.
We started out with the "free" version of VMWare, but soon thereafter upgraded to a licensed version of "VMWare Essentials" for three hosts. (It's normally a $1000 license, but was on sale at the time for $500). One neat thing we are now able to do is drag and drop a running Asterisk system from one VMWare host to another without rebooting the Asterisk environment.

Thanks for sharing your experience Bruce. I am going to use OpenVZ and hope it'll work fine. Is ESXi free or costs license, just in case OpenVZ won't work. The client I worked for, who was using OpenVZ had pretty moderately busy asterisk servers and didn't have any issues with it.

A couple of years ago, we tried OpenVZ, but did not have good results. Don't ask to me explain what the problem was, because that was the problem...we couldn't figure it out. It was just unexplained erratic Asterisk behavior that we did not experience on dedicated hardware. And, we were not using any PRI or other boards...just plain old SIP and IAX. It could have been OpenVZ or it could have been something we did, but the result was the same.

Did you use VMWare's hypervisor?
