Hello, The following URL is for a paper that we wrote on "Container-based Operating System Virtualization: A Scalable, High-performance alternative to Hypervisors." At the performance, scale, and isolation level it compares vserver with xen. We chose vserver simply because we use it on 600+ servers for PlanetLab (www.planet-lab.org). The comparison is primarily between container-based OSes (like vserver, virtuozzo, openvz, etc.) with hypervisor-based systems (like xen, vmware esx, etc.).
http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~mef/research/vserver/paper.pdf The paper is in draft form at the moment, but was submitted to the USENIX Operating System Design and Implementation conference. We plan to make updates to the paper periodically, especially to section 3. You'll see what I mean when you read that. Please send feedback to both the list as well as to me directly (i.e., reply all).
