February 21, 2002 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- SWsoft, Inc. (swsoft.com), a server and networking software

company, today announced testing results for Virtuozzo 2.1 (virtuozzo.com), that supports over 2000 instances of the Linux O/S on a low-end Dell 8450 PowerEdge server.

SWsoft is offering highly scalable virtualization technology for the open

source Linux OS that will enable enterprises to consolidate servers in the

data center and manage the proliferation of unconnected, underused servers.

Virtuozzo 2.1, available now for beta download, will officially be launched

in Q2 2002. New features include VZMC - a full GUI management tool, support

for up to 64GB physical memory, name-based hosting, security enhancements,

improved Service Level Management features such as advanced bandwidth

management, improved bandwidth accounting and smart migration of VEs.

Virtuozzo 2.1 features a new Web accelerator which uses the latest Linux

kernel features like zero-copy sendfile and TCP_CORK options.

"These test results show Virtuozzo improves the high-end performance of

Internet applications on Intel-based servers," added Craig Oda, VP business

development, SWsoft. "In a down economy where cost savings are paramount,

issues such as server consolidation and increased performance of the data

center have never been so important. Virtuozzo is intelligent technology

that provides an affordable way to manage resources and information in the

data center and maximize hardware performance."

Performance testing was conducted by the SWsoft development team, which

includes Alexey Kusnetsov, who maintains the networking code of the Linux

kernel. Virtuozzo achieved their results using the Dell 8450 PowerEdge

servers running RedHat Linux 7.2.

Virtuozzo is available now for purchase beginning at $250 (without

installation.) A complete solution of Dell 8450 hardware, software, OS, and

implementation that allows scaling to 2,000 Linux instances starts at

$25,000.
