SWsoft's business is to split Linux servers into independent partitions, and the company will start testing its own version of Widnows.
The software is named Virtuozzo. The function is to split an operating system of a single version to make it look like several operating systems. The software is mainly applicable to companies hosting low-traffic websites. Virtuozzo software is a way for companies to share servers, but it also provides users with some advantages of independent machines.
So far, SWsof has only sold megaozzo software for Linux servers. Some Beta tests are underway for Windows. The company said the broader test plan began in November 29 and the time for full market launch was scheduled in next January.
The Sales schedule of the software exceeds the company's original plan. Two years ago, the company said that Microsoft's Windows version will be available in the first half of 2003. The company said that the release of the product was postponed because the Windows version of the software needed the same maturity and stability as the Linux product.
The solution of the kerberozzo software is to make a single operating system look like several operating systems, which is the same as the N1 Grid component of Sun Microsystem's forthcoming Solaris 10. But today, vodozzo's more competitive rivals are EMC's VMware and Microsoft's Virtual Server 2005.
The economic advantage of SWsoft software is that it can reduce the licensing fees required to purchase operating systems.
Hatsize is a company that provides infrastructure for online services. It is testing the Windows version of megaozzo software.
Swsoft said that the software has passed the server Demonstration Test of Intel chip x Series servers produced by IBM. An Australian network company uses the company's software on x Series servers. (End)
