SWsoft Virtuozzo Customers Highlight Green Potential of VirtualizationAugust 9, 2007; 07:12 AM HERNDON, Va. – With escalating electric power costs and increasing
pressure to reduce energy consumption, a growing number of service
providers and IT organizations worldwide are using Virtuozzo
virtualization software from SWsoft to reduce their use of electricity
and “go green.” "Virtuozzo
delivers the highest density available in a virtualization solution,
enabling hundreds of virtual environments on a single physical server,
and so it offers the greatest potential for energy savings," said
Serguei Beloussov, CEO of SWsoft. "By using Virtuozzo to achieve their
green computing goals, hosting providers can significantly reduce their
energy usage while also realizing greater efficiency in their
datacenter." Several SWsoft customers are realizing the green potential of virtualization with Virtuozzo in significant ways: "Going green is just smart
business – for our customers and for us – because in addition to
helping the environment, it helps the bottom line," said Christian
Dawson, vice president of operations, ServInt Internet Services. "We
are pleased with the energy reductions we've seen through
virtualization and other initiatives and we think there are further
energy and cost savings to be had by going green. Virtualization with
SWsoft Virtuozzo is integral to achieving our long-term goals." Hosting companies consume a large amount of computing resources, running data centers with thousands of servers to provide companies with web sites, hosted applications and software-as-a-service (SaaS). A 50,000-square-foot data center uses approximately 4 megawatts of power, the equivalent of 57 barrels of oil a day. According
to Gartner Research, energy costs could soon account for more than 50
percent of the total information technology budget for a typical data
center.1 SWsoft Virtuozzo operating system
virtualization software uses patented technology to create multiple,
isolated virtual environments - or virtual private servers - on a
single physical server and operating system, making the most efficient
use of hardware, software and other resources. Each virtual environment
has the same performance and functionality as a stand-alone server. About SWsoft
