SoftLayerTM Offers Parallels Virtuozzo Containers for Dedicated Server Solutions
2008-11-15
Virtual Private Server Solution Launched for Resellers
Renton, Wash., October 13, 2008 ? Parallels, a leader in virtualization
and automation software, today announced that SoftLayer, a top rated company
providing next generation web hosting and on-demand datacenter services, is
presenting Parallels Virtuozzo Containers as part of its dedicated server
offerings. SoftLayer provides servers for many small and medium sized hosters,
responding to their need for a cost-efficient means to offer services that
enable them to move up the value chain. Softlayer?s new offering underpins this
kind of "sticky" service, increasing customer loyalty and providing an
end-to-end solution for infrastructure, hardware and applications to customers
and service providers worldwide.
Parallels Virtuozzo Containers is the world?s leading operating system (OS)
virtualization solution. On a single physical server and single OS installation,
it enables users to run workloads in multiple, simultaneously running execution
environments called "containers". Compared to other virtualization technologies,
Parallels Virtuozzo Containers offers the highest levels of density, performance
and manageability.
By incorporating Parallels Virtuozzo Containers into its dedicated server
offering, SoftLayer enables hosting providers to take advantage of the benefits
of virtualization, reducing the total cost of ownership resulting from server
consolidation and the virtualization of the entire data center, which ultimately
leads to an increase in profitability for resellers. The combination of
Softlayer technology and Parallels Virtuozzo Containers allows hosting resellers
to focus on sales and customer support without the worry of managing co-location
space, power, cooling, and hardware support.
"SoftLayer sees the benefits of delivering an easier, more complete, high end
solution with better services," said George Karidis, Chief Strategy Officer,
SoftLayer. "We partnered with Parallels because they offer industry-leading
virtualization products and services, dedicated sales and development teams, and
a commitment to customer service and support. We are proud of the relationship
that we have built with Parallels and look forward to fantastic benefits in the
future for all of our customers."
"A market leader like SoftLayer realizes that users are demanding more than just
dedicated server offerings," said John Eng, Vice President, Service Provider
Marketing, Parallels. "By enhancing offerings with Parallels Virtuozzo
Containers, SoftLayer provides their customers higher value and satisfaction
through greater server density and scalability, better performance and higher
availability."
SoftLayer?s future plans include an extension of its reseller focused offering
to include Parallels Plesk Panel with Billing, a comprehensive server management
solution designed for professional hosting service providers.
