Appro and SWsoft Partner to Help Enterprise Customers Consolidate and Virtualize Their IT Data Center for Maximum Performance

Posted on: Tuesday, 20 June 2006, 09:00 CDT

Appro (www.appro.com), a leading provider of high-performance enterprise computing servers, storage and high-end workstations, announced it is working with SWsoft (www.swsoft.com), the leading provider of operating system virtualization, automation and tools, to deliver virtualized server solutions. Appro's solution focuses on server density, memory capacity, higher bandwidth data centers and virtualized environments to provide more computing flexibility, reliability and ROI. The solution uses SWsoft's Virtuozzo operating system-level server virtualization software to split Appro's servers into many fully functional and isolated virtual environments (VEs). Each VE can be running its tasks so that the whole server is utilized more efficiently while consolidating and simplifying IT data center performance.

"The proliferation of servers in the data center has led to increased complexity and costs," said Daniel Kim, CEO of Appro. "The combination of Appro's server solutions and Appro's enterprise server clusters and high-density server offerings with SWsoft's Virtuozzo software enables our enterprise customers with greater server utilization and superior server availability providing a cost-effective enterprise high-performance IT data center solution."

"Virtuozzo offers unique benefits and does not compromise performance or scalability, while delivering greater density when compared with other server virtualization technologies," said Serguei Beloussov, CEO of SWsoft. "The operating system-level virtualization provides improved manageability so the result is a low total cost of ownership for customers."

Appro and SWsoft will demonstrate their joint server virtualization solution to IT managers in the financial sector on June 20-22 at Hilton Hotel, NY at the SIA, Securities Industry Association Technology Management Conference 2006 (http://www.sia.com/tmc2006), booth number 1770.
