Virtuozzo – unparalleled virtualisation software

SWsoft Virtuozzo is a patented OS virtualisation solution. Virtuozzo creates isolated virtual environments (VE) or containers on a single physical server and OS instance. Compared to other virtualisation technologies, Virtuozzo offers the highest levels of density, performance and manageability. And it is fully compatible with Plesk control.

• Intelligent Partitioning - Division of a server into as many as hundreds of VEs with full server functionality.
• Complete Isolation - VEs are secure and have full functional, fault and performance isolation.
• Dynamic Resource Allocation - CPU, memory, network, disk and I/O can be changed without re-booting.
• Live Migration - Business continuity capabilities including live migration ensure data is available and recoverable.
• Mass Management - Suite of tools and templates for automated, multi-VE and multi-server administration.

High-tech performance from Virtuozzo virtualisation software:

Scalability
Each VE can seamlessly scale up to the resources of an entire physical server.

Density
Virtuozzo’s efficient technology makes its VEs the highest density available from a virtualisation solution. OS code and resource/cache sharing across VEs, templating of OSs and applications, VzCacheOnline are a few of the capabilities that enable up to 100s of VEs on a standard production physical server.

Consolidated OS and Application Management
Virtuozzo virtualisation software uses a single OS, making it extremely simple to maintain and update across VEs. Applications may also be deployed as a single instance. Virtuozzo template technology enables the ability to update groups of servers or VEs to new patch levels.

Ultra Fast and Parallel Operations
Single OS instance with links and caches enable very fast VE provisioning and other operations. Create, restart, update, resize, backup/restore, migrate, and clone are some of the fast operations optimized for parallel operations.

Dynamic Resource Allocation
Change heavily detailed VE resource parameters in real-time with the flexibility to enable burstable resource usage.

Management Suite of Tools
Designed for Large-scale deployments with live deployments with as many 1,000s of VEs on 100s of physical servers, the complete suite includes permissions enabled browser-based and client interfaces for Virtuozzo and VE administrators. Tools enable many operations including: convert, provision, monitor, backup, recover, analyse, troubleshoot, repair, migrate, self-manage and more across both Windows and Linux platforms for easy consistent management.

Tools Easy Integration
Virtuozzo virtualisation software management tools use industry standard integration technologies: SOAP, XML RPC, CLI and SNMP APIs and SDK, LDAP. 3rd party tools may be easily integrated including: HP, IBM, Microsoft, and CA.

Datacenter Automation Suite (DAS)
Expand virtualised automation into provisioning, workflow, usage accounting, chargeback capabilities and more with the Data Automation Suite.

Live Migration
Move VEs without a service interruption between non-shared storage, using a basic server and standard network configuration.

Broad Platform Support
General hardware independence, supporting any hardware supported by standard Windows and Linux operating systems. Platforms include: Itanium, x86, x64, EM64T and AMD64.

Detailed Resource Management
Virtuozzo has extensive resource control with over 30 parameters to set VE performance and resource management guidelines for novice users.
