Proxmox may be what you want. It supports both OpenVZ and KVM VMs.<br>
It lets you create a cluster of VM servers so you can migrate VMs
when it is time to do hardware updates or maintenance. Of course,
sometimes the software updates are ugly, but that applies to any
virtualization technology that you modify. <br>
<br>
I have not gotten to run Proxmox yet, but it is on my list when some
hardware gets freed up around here.<br>

One of our administrators left and I suddenly found myself with
the task of managing a small network with 5 Dell PowerEdge 2970
servers and a pretty fast independent connection to the Internet.
This LAN is used by one of our offices to host some Joomla, <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://ASP.NET">ASP.NET</a> apps
and a Perl-based CRM application (non-critical stuff). There are
2 servers for production and 2 for testing; the other server is
the newest and is unused. The thing is the newest server has dual
quad core AMD chips, 8 gigs of RAM and 5 fast SAS drives on RAID.
That box would be highly underutilized for Web apps. The public
side of the network has 10 IP addresses. Some of the IP addresses
have been allocated willy nilly to various apps. Recently, one of
the developers asked me for an IP and some space on one of the
servers to demo/test a PHP app and I had to struggle to do that
neatly. I have to clean up this mess.</blockquote>
