2009-06-25
Parallels Extends Market Leadership with Leading Virtualization Technology
HERNDON, Va., June 25, 2009 — Virtualization and automation leader
Parallels, today announced that BTR Associates has selected Parallels Virtuozzo
Containers to deploy and manage their hosted virtual desktop offerings.
Parallels’ virtualization technology helps hosting and cloud services providers
maximize their IT infrastructure utilization by enabling many end-user desktops
on a single-server and by improving the manageability and time-to-market.
Most businesses require core desktop computing, the only issue is how best to
deliver the need, and how to deliver in the most cost-effective way. The hosted
virtual desktop model addresses this challenge by placing the operating system,
applications and associated data on centrally managed servers. The end-user then
accesses the applications via the network with the desktop and applications
delivered on-demand from the virtual desktop servers.
"The day-to-day maintenance, upgrading and troubleshooting of desktops has
become overwhelming to our customers," explains Bob Breitman, President and
Chief Executive Officer, BTR Associates. "The advantage of a centralized desktop
architecture is undeniable. Hosted virtual desktops simplify the management of
the software needed for desktops and simultaneously deliver a cost-effective
solution." Mr. Breitman also stated, "Our hosted virtual desktop solution,
called "A Better AppSM" is delivered on a month-to-month subscription basis,
providing additional benefits for organizations with dynamic staffing."
Leveraging Parallels Containers, BTR Associates delivers each SMB their own
server environment to run and access Microsoft Dynamics applications. Parallels
Virtuozzo Containers is an industry-leading OS-level server virtualization
solution. It creates isolated virtual environments (containers) on a single
server and OS instance to leverage and utilize hardware, software and management
efforts with maximum efficiency. This architecture delivers the most
desktops-to-server ratio of any virtualization solution. This means Parallels
Virtuozzo Containers delivers higher efficiency because each desktop runs the
same underlying operating system, which helps ensure the greatest possible
cost-efficiency, vital in the current economic climate.
"Utilizing virtual desktops and applications via the cloud is a great way for
small and medium-sized businesses to compete against bigger players, who
typically have a dedicated IT staff," explains Jack Zubarev, President, Service
Provider Division. "Parallels improves the manageability of desktop deployments,
while ensuring cloud service providers like BTR Associates reap the cloud’s cost
and flexibility benefits."
