Herndon,
VA — November 15, 2004 – Today, SWsoft,
the established leader in hosting automation and server
virtualization software, announced that Virtuozzo has
achieved IBM ServerProven validation for IBM eServer
xSeries Intel-based servers. Virtuozzo is capable of
running on all IBM eServer xSeries systems on the Linux
operating system, enabling IBM enterprise customers
and hosting providers with the maximum ability to partition
physical servers into hundreds or thousands of virtual
private servers (VPS).
Virtuozzo achieved ServerProven status
by being successfully deployed and running in a customer
production environment. WebCentral, Australia’s
largest hosting service provider hosting more than 60,000
websites and domains for corporations, government organizations
and small and medium businesses, offers xSeries virtual
dedicated servers powered by SWsoft’s Virtuozzo
solution.
“Our Virtual Dedicated solutions
have been very effective in providing dedicated capabilities
at a fraction of the cost of implementing a traditional
dedicated solution,” said Andrew Spicer, CEO,
WebCentral. “The Virtuozzo software has helped
us to provide a practical alternative for developers
seeking a quality testing, sandbox or basic production
server at a more affordable price point.”
“Several top service providers

and performance achieved with the combination of Virtuozzo
