Feb 20, 2008 : Parallels Catalog Reaches 100 Apps


📅 - Web hosting software provider Parallels (parallels.com), a company that until recently was known as SWsoft, announced on Wednesday that service providers that use virtualization and automation software can now access more than 100 applications certified according to the Application Packaging Standard.


End-user customers can select from a range of software as a service solutions, which can be delivered by service providers for a low cost. The APS standard is a packaging format that enables service providers to easily deliver hosted applications developed by independent software vendors. These APS-certified applications can be easily "plugged" into hosting platforms that conform to the standard.

"With our Parallels Open Platform and the APS standard, we are providing a unified, open technology platform that is helping software vendors and service providers take advantage of SaaS to expand their businesses and grow revenues," says Serguei Beloussov, CEO of Parallels. "The certification of more than 100 applications to the APS standard is a significant milestone that shows momentum for the standard as well as SaaS."

Applications certified to the APS standard can be  downloaded from the APS Application Catalog (apsstandard.com/app). The catalog consists of a range of applications, including back office, collaboration, infrastructure, personal and Web.

Last week, Parallels announced it released a templates catalog for Parallels Virtuozzo Containers.
