Parallels Supports HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 and HP ProLiant BL495c Virtualization Blade Server
2008-11-18
RENTON, Wash., November 17, 2008 ? Parallels today announced that its
OS-level server virtualization solution, Parallels Virtuozzo Containers,
supports the new HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet module and HP ProLiant
BL495c virtualization blade server. Parallels Virtuozzo Containers enables HP
BladeSystem customers to partition the underlying hardware and host OS so
multiple, isolated workloads can run simultaneously and safely on the same
physical server. Combined with HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 and HP ProLiant BL495c
virtualization server blades, this approach provides a unique virtualized
environment for customers running Linux or Microsoft Windows with further
benefits of green computing through very high hardware and software
virtualization density.
"HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 provides customers with new levels of flexibility
and control with its ability to consolidate, allocate and fine tune NIC
connection bandwidth" said Ezequiel Steiner, Senior VP of Corporate and Business
Development at Parallels. "Coupled with the unmatched density of Parallels
Virtuozzo Containers, this results in one of the greenest computing environments
available."
When customers combine Parallels Virtuozzo Containers with the HP Virtual
Connect Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet module and HP ProLiant BL495c virtualization blade
servers, they can deploy more virtual servers per blade than ever before, while
still ensuring that the appropriate network resources are available to the host
operating system or each individual container. Parallels Virtuozzo Containers
takes advantage of these new capabilities immediately as it leverages the native
Linux and Microsoft Windows drivers provided by HP. Parallels? unique,
container-based virtualization approach virtualizes the OS instead of the
underlying hardware, resulting in high utilization rates per server.
"Customers want a cost-efficient and high-performance technology environment, in
conjunction with attaining their green computing goals," said Mark Potter, vice
president and general manager, BladeSystem, HP. "The combination of HP Virtual
Connect Flex-10 with the HP ProLiant BL495c virtualization blade server and
Parallels Virtuozzo Containers allows HP BladeSystem customers to deploy
extremely dense server hardware and OS virtualization software."
Power consumption within datacenters has become a major concern due to the
impact on both the environment and rising energy prices. Using Parallels
Virtuozzo Containers, datacenter owners have reduced power consumption by
60-80%. Compared to other virtualization technologies, Parallels Container-based
architecture enables high density deployments and makes it the "greenest"
virtualization solution. With such consolidation ratios customers can minimizes
power consumption up to 10 times more than other virtualization technologies, as
numerous case studies from our customers have shown. One such customer is Media
Temple.
"Since 2007, we?ve slashed power consumption per (dv) customer by 71 percent
using HP hardware and Parallels Virtuozzo Containers," says Demian Sellfors, CEO
of (mt) Media Temple. "Reducing power usage is crucial to Media Temple overall
conservation program, and the combination HP and Parallels allows us to reach
our conservation goals within our datacenters."
The Parallels Virtuozzo Containers green computing benefit is strengthened by
the HP BladeSystem c-Class platform, as the most efficient HP blade
configuration consumes 45 percent less power than traditional 1U servers. This
translates to running 80 blades for the same power as 42 standard 1U servers in
an extremely dense containers-based virtualized environment.
