Parallels® Virtuozzo Containers

Parallels® Virtuozzo Containers provides server virtualization with density ratios up to 2-3 times higher than leading hypervisor solutions.

Higher density translates into more utilization from your existing servers – potentially eliminating the need for new server purchases.

With more virtual servers per physical server, you experience increased cost savings in energy and cooling.

  

 

Complete Solution

Parallels Virtuozzo Containers comes with a built-in GUI interface to manage individual servers or a command line interface (CLI) for scripting and integration. The optional web-browser solution, Parallels Infrastructure Manager, provides a single console view of the complete virtualization environment on top of the ability to manage both Windows & Linux virtual servers.

Parallels Infrastructure Manager comes with a built-in backup tool to help diminish solution costs. The administrator has the ability to define backup compression ratios ensuring minimum degradation to network performance.

The secret behind Parallels Virtuozzo Containers is operating system virtualization that provides a universal layer from which all system resources are allocated across every virtual server. Nothing gets wasted. This translates into a virtualization layer with only 2% overhead that produces faster context switching and better memory management.

Parallels Virtuozzo Containers also utilizes native kernel processes that are familiar to administrators. Flanked by low overhead and native kernel utilization, servers experience near-native performance as well as application & database optimizations being preserved.

Using Parallels Virtuozzo Containers

Internal & Commercial Cloud Computing

Provision, provide, monitor and manage large numbers of virtualized services, hosted applications and software on demand.

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

Parallels VDI allows the central management of desktops from the data center without heavy lifting or making any application changes.

Software as a Service (SaaS)

Templates allow multiple instances of an application to be quickly deployed across high density IT infrastructures in a matter of minutes.

Maximize utilization of existing servers

Operating System Virtualization

• Lean, efficient virtualization layer means more headroom for virtual servers

• Isolated workloads ensure applications across business silos are secure

• Small footprint for virtual server reduces disk and memory usage

Increase team efficiencies

• New server deployment goes from click to ready-to-use within minutes

• Virtual operating systems automatically updated with host server OS

• Monitors & allocates system resources automatically

Scalable

• Single virtual server spanning all system resources up to 100’s of virtual servers

Ease of Management

• Multiple management interfaces

• Easy to use tools that simplify maintenance and support

• Easy integration into 3rd party applications

• Multiple management interfac
