OpenVZ is not paravirtualization, it is rather containerization. See the difference here: http://wiki.openvz.org/Introduction_to_virtualization

But in most cases it still makes sense to compare it to VMware and/or Xen. For example, see this comparison of OpenVZ vs Xen done by HP labs: http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/2007/HPL-2007-59.html

As of what containers, or OS-level virtualization is, there is a nice wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system-level_virtuali zation

Any further questions -- feel free to ask.
