Abstract
A method for storing and processing data includes providing an operating system (OS) virtualization running on a processor and having a plurality of containers. Each container may prevent privilege escalation by a user to an administrator of a global zone running the OS virtualization. The method may also include providing a hardware virtual machine (HVM) for the user, the HVM encapsulated in one of the containers. A system for storing and processing data is provided that includes an operating system (OS) virtualization stored in a memory and running on a processor. The OS virtualization has a plurality of containers, and each container prevents privilege escalation by a user to an administrator of a global zone running the OS virtualization. The HVM may be encapsulated in one of the containers. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a program recorded thereon is provided.
