Oct 12, 2006 : Masterhost Deploys SWsoft Products

📅 October 12, 2006 - Russian Web hosting provider .masterhost (masterhost.ru) announced on Wednesday it has selected SWsoft (swsoft.com) Virtuozzo virtualization software and Plesk control panel software to manage its services. The products will help .masterhost expand its offerings on both the Windows and Linux platforms.


The Web host had initially selected Virtuozzo to maximize its server resources, then added Plesk because of its integration with Virtuozzo as part of SWsoft's open fusion initiative. Virtuozzo lets multiple virtual environments on a single server share hardware, licenses and management resources.

Virtuozzo and Plesk also have a common API for changing the language and locale of integrated applications. As a result, .masterhost can localize its customer interface in Russian, significantly reducing development and translation time.

"SWsoft Virtuozzo and Plesk software support our overall growth strategy by enhancing our ability to deliver reliable and easy-to-use solutions to our customers with greater efficiency and minimal downtime," says Aleksandr Ovchinnikov, chief commercial officer for .masterhost.
