Solution Shortens Provisioning of New Physical and Virtual Servers from Days to Minutes
September 28, 2004, South San Francisco, CA
and Herndon, VA SWsoft, the established leader in hosting
automation and server virtualization software, announced a joint
strategic partnership with Acronis, Inc., the technological leader
in storage and systems management software, to jointly develop and
market Virtuozzo™ and Acronis True Image Server 8.0™ solutions
for enterprises and hosting providers.
Through the comprehensive joint development,
sales and marketing agreement, Acronis True Image Server and
Acronis True Image Enterprise Server disk imaging, system backup
and disaster recovery solutions will be integrated into SWsoft's
Virtuozzo virtual private server (VPS) technology. Enterprises will
be able to provision new physical servers instantaneously using
Acronis' award-winning disk imaging solution on both Linux and
Windows platforms. Once deployed, the new Virtuozzo-powered servers
can be partitioned into virtual servers to help better utilize a
customer's server investment.
"From our unique convergence of storage and
virtualization technologies, IT managers will be able to deploy,
backup and utilize new servers much more quickly and efficiently,
further driving down the cost of datacenter operations," said
Acronis CEO Max Tsypliaev. "After reviewing other server
virtualization solutions on the market, we determined that SWsoft's
Virtuozzo technology is the most production-proven solution
available."
"Combining real-time disk imaging and backup
capabilities with server virtualization is a powerful value
proposition for enterprise and hosting customers," said Serg Bell,
CEO, SWsoft. "Server virtualization is the enabling technology for
the dynamic datacenters of tomorrow, but without comprehensive
tools, enterprises will not be able to fully realize its benefits.
SWsoft's partnership with Acronis creates the best integrated,
multi-platform solution with the most complete tools available.
Both companies are committed to delivering solutions that help make
the dynamic datacenter a reality."
"Acronis True Image Server's disk cloning and
disaster recovery capabilities make it possible to do bare-metal
restores literally in minutes," noted Stephen Lawton, marketing
director for Acronis. "Using Acronis' Drive Snapshot
technology, IT managers can deploy a server disk image or provision
a server in minutes, not the hours or days it would take to build a
server disk from scratch, even if you had a file-based backup as a
starting point."
