Hi.
Thanks all for your answers.
I have take a look to SmartOS and it seems a good approach to mix the use
of zones and full virtualization.
However it seems that KVM is not support on AMD Cpu, now i have an AMD
Opteron (with AMD-V technology).
Didi you know if it is possible currently to use KVM technology on AMD?
Thanks
