Virtuozzo has allowed us to get more use from our server farm and stretch our hardware dollars, Robert Berry, director of technical services for the publisher. Before deploying Virtuozzo, we noticed that the CPU utilization on each physical server was negligible. When we added Virtuozzo software to a couple of physical machines, we were able to add multiple virtual web servers to a single physical machine and easily achieve higher CPU utilization. laptop battery

Homes Land has 13 Virtuozzo hardware nodes running Windows Server 2003, with a mixture of 32-bit and 64-bit environments. Because of the ability to densely populate multiple virtual environments onto a single server, the company believes it can increase utilization even further. thinkpad

We are nowhere near the completion of our deployment of Virtuozzo, said Berry. Because of Virtuozzo s high density capabilities, many of our hardware nodes could easily handle many more virtual environments. microsoft

Homes Land has configured the Virtuozzo virtual environments so that web servers are mirrored across different hardware, thereby providing failover redundancy and making migrations and upgrades easier to manage. laptop computers

We had an unexpected result from our Cold Fusion application servers. By increasing the number of instances of Cold Fusion, we improved response times, thereby serving pages faster even though we were putting more load on the CPU s, said Berry. laptop computer

With 12 web servers spread across four physical machines, the company has saved more than $80, 000 on hardware alone, compared with if it had deployed individual physical servers. Savings on space, cooling, and management further add to the ROI (return-on-investment) associated with Virtuozzo. desktop computer

SWsoft Virtuozzo dynamically partitions a single Windows or Linux operating system instance into highly efficient and scalable virtual environments. Virtuozzo includes patented technology that enables density of up to hundreds of virtual environments per physical server. notebooks

Unlike virtual machines and hypervisors, Virtuozzo addresses the challenges of operating system sprawl faced by today s data centers. Its unique architecture and management tools make Virtuozzo the ideal solution for provisioning, monitoring and managing virtualized server resources. lenovo

Virtualization Technology from SWsoft Helps Software Maker Save Money, Improve Service

September 19, 2007 System Automation Corporation Replaces Servers with Virtual Environments from SWsoft Virtuozzo HERNDON, Va., September 19, 2007 - System Automation Corporation is using SWsoft Virtuozzo to save money, while providing a very flexible testing platform that is easy to convert into production for the government agencies that purchase its MyLicense Suite software for enterprise regulation management. Now, it takes minutes to set up virtual environments, and the MyLicense software can be updated across virtual environments in a matter of minutes, which previously had been impossible. data storage

System Automation develops MyLicense Suite software that is used by more than 400 government entities in 23 states to manage, for example, teacher and nurse licenses. The company is realizing cost savings of about $2, 000 per server by replacing physical servers with virtual servers created with SWsoft Virtuozzo software. hitachi

System Automation is also saving money by reducing the time required to manage the virtual data center. A full-time administrator now spends only a quarter of their time managing the virtual environments by taking advantage of the Virtuozzo management tools function. Now, with Virtuozzo a change can be made and deployed across all of the virtual environments at once using the template function. rational
