[December 15, 2004]
First
True Windows Server Virtualization Solution for HSPs
Deployed by The Planet and AMEN
Herndon,
VA—December 15, 2004— Today, SWsoft, the
established leader in server automation and virtualization,
announced the availability of the controlled release
for Virtuozzo for Windows, a unique server virtualization
solution that creates multiple isolated Virtual Private
Servers (VPSs) on a single physical server to share
hardware, software licenses and management with maximum
possible efficiency. The Planet (www.theplanet.com),
a Dallas-based global provider of managed hosting and
value-added data center services with over 25,000 servers
and AMEN (www.amen.fr), a subsidiary of VIA NET.WORKS
(Nasdaq: VNWI; EASE) and one of Europe’s fastest
growing service providers, are among the first Web hosting
service providers to deploy Virtuozzo for Windows VPS.
“The Linux Virtuozzo powered virtual
private servers have been an extremely effective and
highly demanded new dedicated server option for many
of our customers,” said Nathan Day, Vice President
Product Development, The Planet. “We are excited
to be among the first service providers worldwide to
offer SWsoft’s powerful Virtuozzo for Windows
VPS solution that incorporates the same level of features
and support that have made our VPS solution so popular.”
“We are hearing more and more
from customers that due to our low overhead, efficiency
and manageability, Virtuozzo is the only true VPS solution
available for hosting service providers,” said
Serguei Beloussov, CEO, SWsoft. “Virtuozzo for
Windows incorporates the same API and interface with
all of the proven capabilities of Virtuozzo for Linux
on the Windows platform. Virtuozzo also provides advanced
resource management, isolation, security and a full
set of comprehensive management tools.”
“We have used the combination
of SWsoft’s Plesk and Virtuozzo for Linux to offer
a tightly integrated and easy to use solution that includes
thousands of expected and proven features,” said
Dick Theunissen, President of Amen. “Immediately
after we launched the Linux version in June, our customers
started inquiring about the release and support of a
Windows version of Virtuozzo. SWsoft has produced yet
another solid product that will help us attract more
customers and more revenue.”
“Virtuozzo uniquely provides for
server virtualization above the OS level, which provides
for many distinct advantages”, says Scott Donahue,
vice president of Tier1 Research. “This approach
leverages a single OS to provide a better solution for
running multiple virtual servers with less overhead,
better performance, easier manageability, and a lower
deployment cost.”
