As a pioneer in the virtualization industry, creative thinking is engrained in our culture, it is part of what makes “Team Virtuozzo” unique and a pillar of our success.

Virtuozzo’s 101st patent (№ 10,681,008) was approved in June, 2020 and involves “Use of checkpoint restore in user space for network socket management.”
Each patent obtained represents months of hard work and dedication to advancement. It also provides an exceptional opportunity to discover solutions to complex issues that arise throughout the development process.
