Global Web Hoster ServInt Deploys Parallels Virtuozzo Containers for Dedicated Server
2009-03-30
Server Virtualization Reduces Management and Support Costs Across All Hosted
Offerings
Herndon, Va. — March 30, 2009 — Parallels, a leader in virtualization and
automation software, today announced that ServInt is virtualizing its Dedicated
Server offerings with OS-level virtualization solution, Parallels Virtuozzo
Containers. Previously, the global web hosting company was deploying Parallels
Virtuozzo Containers to underpin its Virtual Private Server offerings, and has
now broadened the deployment across all servers, including those used for
Dedicated Server offerings. This is unusual: Dedicated Servers are not commonly
virtualized as the hardware is not being shared amongst multiple users, so does
not need to be partitioned. However, ServInt is using the virtualization
technology to reduce its management and support burdens.
ServInt’s new Dedicated Server offering, introduced earlier this year, provides
high-performance web and application hosting for established e-commerce sites,
resellers and mid-size companies seeking manageability and high value. Parallels
Virtuozzo Containers provides scalability to underpin this offering by
facilitating easy movement of server content from one hardware environment to
another with little downtime. The technology does this by enabling users to
simultaneously run multiple execution environments called "containers" on a
single physical server and OS installation. Customized management tools in the
product reduce ServInt’s management burden, allowing the hosting provider to
re-focus on sales and customer support without the worry of managing co-location
space, power, cooling and hardware support.
"For more than five years, Parallels’ containers-based virtualization software
has allowed us to achieve higher density on servers when needed, without losing
the native performance of the machine," said Christian Dawson, ServInt’s vice
president of operations. "The software enables us to deliver new offerings,
improve manageability and reduce the total cost of ownership for our customers.
By combining high product functionality with responsive support, Parallels has
become the ideal business partner."
"ServInt is taking a unique approach to virtualization by offering Parallels
Virtuozzo Containers on managed dedicated servers," said Jack Zubarev, President
of Service Provider Division, Parallels. "By adopting this approach, they can
deploy servers more quickly and reliably, while providing end-users with an
interface that is easily manageable. This allows ServInt to concentrate on core
competencies, while delivering great service."
