Hi Richard,

You say your platform is based upon a KVM (Kernel based Virtual Machine), but what does this really mean in terms of benefits to the end user?

The end users benefits of KVM are (1) very high virtualization performance, and (2) high user control of their server configuration since KVM behaves very much like physical hardware. To expand on this second point, other clouds typically offer a small number of standard OS configurations since the host operating systems need configuration with special drivers. ElasticHosts allows you to run almost any PC operating system image - either copied directly from a physical server's hard drive or installed yourself from any install CD that you choose.
