## Introduction
ZMachine is a unified container/virtual machine type. This can be used to start a virtual machine on a zos node.
## Features
* import from docker (market std for containers)
* can be easily deployed at the edge (edge cloud)
* single-tenant, fully decentralized!
* can deploy unlimited amounts of storage using our qsfs.
* [ZOS Protect](../../zos/benefits/zos_advantages.md#zero-os-protect): no hacking surface to the Zero-Nodes, integrate silicon route of trust
* [ZOS Filesystem](../storage/qsfs.md): dedupe, zero-install, hacker-proof
* [WebGateway](../network/webgw3.md:) intelligent connection between web (internet) and container services
* integration with [ZNet](../network/znet.md) (efficient, secure encrypted network between the zmachines)
