Furthers Virtuozzo 64-bit Advantage [April

Server
Virtualization Technology Advances Lead on Supporting
High End AMD and Intel Server Architectures
Herndon, VA — April 19, 2005 –
Today, SWsoft, an established leader in server automation
and virtualization software, announced an updated 64-bit
roadmap to support Intel and AMD server technologies.
SWsoft’s Virtuozzo, a server virtualization solution
for Linux and Windows platforms, delivers high end server
support for not only pure 64-bit systems but for next
generation memory-intensive applications. With updated
64-bit support available in the summer of 2005, Virtuozzo
extends its lead in high performance server virtualization
computing.
“Customers investing in 64-bit
technology will be pleased with SWsoft’s commitment
to computing and performance advances,” said Serguei
Beloussov, CEO, SWsoft. “Virtuozzo is the first
server virtualization solution to use the maximum computing
power of Intel and AMD. Virtuozzo’s architecture
is better able to take advantage of underlying hardware
and software and doesn’t have to recreate technology
to recognize full potential.”
"Worldwide revenues for virtual
environment software, the aggregate market containing
virtual machine software, grew nearly 25% between 2003
and 2004," said Dan Kusnetzky, IDC's VP of system
software research. "Virtualized environments supported
on high-volume, powerful, and yet, relatively low cost
32- and 64-bit hardware can help organizations reduce
costs in some important areas while still allowing them
to implement IT-based solutions offering real business
value."
Unmatched Server Virtualization Extended
Virtuozzo server virtualization for Linux and Windows
creates multiple isolated Virtual Private Servers (VPSs)
on a single physical server enabling each VPS to perform
and execute exactly like a stand-alone server. Unlike
other hardware emulation approaches to virtualization,
Virtuozzo provides Operating System (OS) level virtualization.
The core benefits of Virtuozzo include:
• High Performance – “Thin”
technology that adds no system calls or overhead
• Expansive Hardware and Software Support –
Interacts with existing OS and hardware; fully supports
native 32 and 64-bit, SMP, 16-CPU and 64 GB RAM
• High Scalability – A single physical server
can house tens or hundreds of VPSs
• Complete Isolation – Each VPS is completely
isolated using a Kernel Abstraction Layer and Virtuozzo
File System
• Robust Resource Management – Complete
control over CPU, memory, disk and network I/O
• Powerful Management Tools – Easily manage
large and potentially remote groups of servers and VPSs
with a full set of administrative and VPS owner tools
• Rapid ROI – Virtuozzo drives lower hardware,
software and management costs minimizing total cost
of ownership and facilitating a rapid ROI
