FORPSI Selects SWsoft Virtuozzo to Power Virtual Server

June 1, 2007; 06:59 AM

HERNDON, Va. – SWsoft today announced that FORPSI, the No. 1 web hosting provider in the Czech Republic¹, has launched new Virtual Server offerings powered by SWsoft Virtuozzo virtualization software.     

FORPSI Virtual Servers use SWsoft’s patented Virtuozzo technology to create multiple, isolated virtual environments - or virtual private servers - on a single physical server and operating system, making the most efficient use of hardware, software and other resources. FORPSI Virtual Servers provide a complete range of traditional web hosting services, including administration of websites, FTP, DNS, e-mail and databases.  

"Our Virtual Servers provide a range of web hosting services for customers who want more than a simple web hosting service, but don’t need an independent server," said Markéta Gsöllhoferová, sales manager,  FORPSI. "SWsoft Virtuozzo helped us bridge the gap between traditional web hosting and dedicated server hosting to meet customer demand for new, affordable hosting services."

FORPSI has two Virtual Server offerings:  Basic and Professional. The Basic server provides a control panel for 10 domain names with 1 Mbps of guaranteed bandwidth and 3 GB disk storage. The Professional server includes 30 domain names with 2 Mbps of bandwidth and 15 GB of disk storage. Both servers are available for Windows or Linux. Prices start at 300 Czech crowns/month (approximately US$14).

"SWsoft is excited to extend the benefits of Virtuozzo to FORPSI’s customers in the Czech and Slovakian markets," said Soeren von Varchmin, managing director for SWsoft’s European and Asian Operations. "Virtuozzo provides a cost-efficient solution that will allow FORPSI to deliver more hosting services with minimal resources and cost, and take advantage of improved integration resulting from our ongoing OPEN FUSION initiative."

OPEN FUSION is an SWsoft technology initiative to improve integration among a wide range of systems, third-party applications and modules, and custom and in-house solutions. The OPEN FUSION platform enables optimized delivery of SaaS (software as a service) and traditional hosting services to help ISVs (independent software vendors) and service providers take full advantage of new opportunities in the market.
