RENTON, Wash. and DUBLIN, Ireland, June 04, 2008 – Parallels virtualization and automation software is powering new virtual private server (VPS) offerings from Blacknight Internet Solutions Ltd, a leading provider of web hosting solutions in Ireland.

Each level – Starter, Basic, Standard and Enterprise – is managed through Parallels System Automation and Parallels Virtuozzo Containers and are currently available at http://www.blacknightvps.com/
The new Blacknight VPS offerings are provisioned and managed through Parallels Virtuozzo Containers operating system (OS) virtualization software and Parallels Automation datacenter solution.
