Parallels Server is a bare metal hypervisor software that enables easy and efficient virtualization. It is a powerful tool that simplifies the process of setting up virtual machines on a single physical server.
Organizations can leverage Parallels Server's bare metal architecture to install the solution on existing or "white box" servers without an operating system. This solution is highly cost-effective as it does not require additional OS software and delivers optimal performance without additional overhead. Parallels Server supports the deployment of the software on Linux and Windows platforms, respectively, for servers that are already installed with supported versions of the operating system. Thus, organizations of all sizes, particularly SMBs, can standardize on their preferred platform and integrate the virtualization solution into their existing IT infrastructure.
Parallels Server provides organizations with cost-effective solutions for data protection and reducing the costs and complexities of IT infrastructures. The solution delivers hardware-accelerated performance and reliability through a range of features, including integrated toolset including Parallels Tools, Parallels Image Tool, and Parallels Transporter (P2V and V2V migration tool). The software includes Parallels Management Console, a GUI-based multi-server management tool that simplifies management tasks. Additionally, it offers Open APIs and SDK for extensible management and command line interface (CLI) for scripting, including Python.
Parallels Server is a hardware-optimized, bare metal hypervisor-based server virtualization solution that delivers performance, reliability, and flexibility. It supports 64- and 32-bit platform and guest OS, 4-way guest SMP and multi-core CPU support, unlimited host memory support, and clustered filesystem support for Bare Metal and Linux. It also supports Intel VT-x and AMD-V hardware acceleration technologies and provides experimental support for Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel VT-d) for hardware resources assignment and dedication on Windows.
Parallels Server for Linux currently supports only three distributions: RHEL 5.x, CentOS 5.x, and Ubuntu 7.10. A 30-day trial is available.
