March 13, 2006 (HOSTSEARCH.COM) Web hosting visualization technology and automation tools provider SWsoft (http://www.swsoft.com) has announced its Virtuozzo product will support products with Intel Virtualization Technology (VT) capabilities, including the recently unveiled Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) specification adding additional manageability, security, isolation and I/O performance.
Building virtualization technology into the processor enables Virtuozzo to deliver higher functionality, said Serguei Beloussov, CEO of SWsoft. As Intel adds more technology like VT-d into its processor and chipsets, hardware vendors, software vendors and ultimately end users benefit from more robust virtualization solutions.
Intel Virtualization Technology is helping customers achieve better utilization of their hardware investments," said Lorie Wigle, Director of Marketing for Intels Server Platforms Group. By incorporating support for Intel Virtualization Technology, SWsoft delivers OS-level virtualization which improves application compatibility and reliability.
The SWsoft Virtuozzo product release with VT support is scheduled for later this year. Virtuozzo VT-d support will follow in conjunction with platform availability.
