FreeBSD jail
The FreeBSD jail mechanism is an implementation of operating system-level virtualization that allows administrators to partition a FreeBSD-based computer system into several independent mini-systems called jails.
The need for the FreeBSD jails came from service providers' desire to establish a clean, clear-cut separation between their services and their customers, mainly for security and ease of administration. Instead of adding a new layer of fine-grained configuration options, the solution adopted was to compartmentalize the system, both its files and its resources, in such a way that only the right person(s) are allowed access to the right compartment(s).
