The offering will be delivered from Liquid Web’s two fully-owned and operated
mid-western datacenters. This represents an expanded partnership with Parallels,
which already supplies Liquid Web with Parallels Plesk Control Panel software
that is bundled with all Windows dedicated server offerings. Parallels
Virtuozzo Containers includes the Parallels Infrastructure Manager, a robust set
of management tools that helps Liquid Web personnel deliver their “Heroic
Support,” which has become a trademark of their services. Using the Parallels
Infrastructure Manager and Parallels Plesk control panel software, Liquid Web
can offer its customers a control panel for adding software-as-a-service (SaaS)
applications as well as the ability to scale the size of their VPS. "We
are pleased that Liquid Web has selected Parallels Virtuozzo Containers and the
Parallels Open Platform for this important new offering and that our two
companies are deepening our partnership," said Serguei Beloussov, CEO of
Parallels. "Parallels Virtuozzo Containers offers the highest levels of density,
manageability and scalability, which makes it an ideal solution for datacenter
owners who want to offer a wide variety of fully-managed services."
Liquid Web takes advantage of the Parallels Virtuozzo Containers’
architecture to offer "burstable" memory – for example, temporarily adding more
memory to a container during a short period of high activity – so clients may
have access to more server resources than they actually pay for. The
architecture provides this capability while guaranteeing minimal levels of
service so clients never have less memory than their contract. "Our VPS
offerings give a significant competitive advantage over hypervisor-based
solutions," said Travis Stoliker, marketing director of Liquid Web. "The high
density, reliability, power savings, and management tools of Parallels Virtuozzo
Containers allow us to provide our customers with more attractive
offerings." 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. The Parallels
Open Platform enables hosting with Parallels virtualization and automation
technology through integration with a wide range of third-party applications and
systems. The Application Packaging Standard (APS), a key element of the
platform, is used by independent software vendors (ISVs) and service providers
to seamlessly integrate applications to offer to the more than 10 million
businesses and individuals that use Parallels products. About Liquid
