SWsoft, which makes networking software, Thursday unveiled the latest improvements to its popular Virtuozzo platform.

The technology is now being used behind the company's flagship product, HSPcomplete, a full-lifecycle hosting automation solution.

Version 2.0 is being pitched to service providers using Intel based servers as a flexible way to offer service-level agreements (SLAs) and affordable dedicated server plans. The company says Virtuozzo will replace virtual Web host technology.

"Virtuozzo is the multi-tenancy technology behind our HSPcomplete solution and is the only solution designed to allow Web hosting companies manage their data center as a single resource and serve hundreds of customer on a single, physical server," says SWsoft VP, Business Development Craig Oda. "As the Internet more deeply permeates the fabric of traditional business, small and medium-sized businesses will need a more sophisticated Web presence. Virtuozzo 2.0 surpasses the Virtual Web Host and enables Web hosting companies to offer a wide-range of shared and dedicated server capabilities, at lower price points."

The platform supports multi-tenancy, allowing hundreds of customers to share a single, physical server, even though to them it appears as if they have their own dedicated environment. Virtuozzo also lets systems administrators control the customer resource levels and offer service-level agreements (SLAs) and quality of service guarantees.

The platform is also heady in clustering architecture, allowing customers to move in-between servers, without affecting the quality of the network.

Virtuozzo 2.0 can be licensed separately for integration into an OEM's hardware or software solution.
