About Virtuozzo™

Virtuozzo™ is SWsoft’s virtualization and automation solution built on top of OpenVZ. Virtuozzo™ provides improvements and additional functionality in the areas of density, management tools, recovery, and other areas. Specific benefits of Virtuozzo™ compared to OpenVZ can be found below:

  • Higher VE density.
Virtuozzo™ provides efficient memory and file sharing mechanisms enabling higher VE density and better performance of VEs.
  • Management tools.
Virtuozzo™ ships with number of management, monitoring, troubleshooting, and administration tools significantly reducing management, administration, and deployment costs. Specific tools include:
  • VZMC — GUI-based administration, management, monitoring, and provisioning tool.
  • VZCC — browser-based administration, management, monitoring, and provisioning tool.
  • PowerPanel — browser-based recovery and administration tool for VE owner.
  • Number of additional shell utilities.
  • Support and maintenance.
Virtuozzo™ is a commercial product supported and maintained by SWsoft with options for 24×7 phone support and guarantees on maintenance schedules.
  • Advanced recovery, monitoring, and back-up tools.
  • Physical-to-VE (P2V) and VE-to-physical (V2P) migration tools.
Those tools allow easy conversion of existing physical machines into Virtuozzo™ VE (and vice-versa) facilitating the adoption of virtualized infrastructure.
  • Common client-server XML-based management API (VZAgent).
API allows easily integration of Virtuozzo™ into existing management infrastructure and development of additional management and monitoring modules.
  • Traffic accounting tools.
These tools enable bandwidth management and control for individual VEs and provide additional security mechanisms for VEs running on the same host.

Other benefits of Virtuozzo™

  • Integration with SWsoft’s Plesk control panel solution.
  • Discounts on Plesk licenses.
  • Name-based hosting (no need for public IP for each VE).
  • Easy to use installation utility.
