"We are extremely excited to provide Virtuozzo to our customers and to replace our previous VPS technology. Since the inception of this agreement, Plesk has already begun to realize an increase in sales," said Jamie Marraccini, president, Plesk, Inc. "We see SWsoft?s technology as by far the most stable, feature packed VPS technology available. Our research clearly indicated the Virtuozzo technology to be superior to all of its competitors and the combination of PSA and Virtuozzo provides customers with the best set of applications in their respective spaces."

SWsoft ehcoed Plesk's sentiments, stating "SWsoft views this as a unique opportunity to strengthen its position as the leading VPS solution in the world, provider of the only true VPS," according to Serguei Beloussov, CEO of SWsoft. "We see this change for Plesk as another proof point that Virtuozzo is the only adequate solution for VPS and other technologies simply do not meet the needs of customers.?

Feedback from throughout the industry has been positive. ?We are very pleased with our decision to go with the Plesk and SWsoft solution," said Jacky Yung, CEO, OnSmart Network, Inc. "PSA is a great product and Virtuozzo is the best virtualization technology available, together they are a winning combination for us and our customers."

To promote the agreement, Plesk has designed a package for new users. The details include: the Virtuozzo Management Console, 10 virtual private servers on one physical server (up to 2GHz) and ten PSA licenses to manage the new VPS. Plesk will also include System Installation, 1 year of 24x7 E-mail support, and 1 year of updates for both sets of software. Bundled separately the total value of the package is typically $6479, which Plesk will offer for $4900.
