Virtual Appliances: Improve Manageability & Automate Provisioning

Overview Virtual appliances have recently been gaining notoriety with IT organizations. These pre-packaged ready to deploy instances of an application created in a virtual machine or environment can provide significant management savings. While they can be a powerful IT tool, not all virtual appliances are created equally.

To date most virtual appliances have been deployed using hardware virtualization, a virtual machine or hypervisor technology. This method offers improvements over general-purpose stand-alone servers, but because virtual machines don't share underlying infrastructure this method is not very efficient.

SWsoft Virtuozzo virtual appliances enable a much better level of efficiency, manageability, resource use and flexibility by maximizing the use of software resources. Find out how creating virtual appliances using the advanced toolset and architecture of Virtuozzo will save time and resources.
