I was just reading Liam Eagle’s blogpost on SWSoft and Parallels. Apparently, Parallels, the developer of the Parallels Desktop — a hardware virtualization software on Windows, Linux and Mac — has actually been under a new management for three years. Who is the new owner? SWsoft, home of popular virtualization (Virtuozzo) and server automation (Plesk) software.

Kir Kolyshkin wrote on the OpenVZ blog, Why Virtuozzo is good for OpenVZ,

The first version of Virtuozzo was released about 6 years ago, so it is not something new. Virtuozzo costs money, and is used by big corporations for mission-critical applications. Virtuozzo customers expect it to be very stable, fast, bug-free, well documented, etc. And to sell the product successfully, those expectations must be met.
