Virtuize, Inc., a leading provider of vendor-agnostic virtualization services, announced today that they have partnered with Parallels, Inc., a leader in virtualization and automation solution, to provide consulting services for Parallels’ OS-level server virtualization software, Parallels Virtuozzo Containers.

“We are excited about the broad range of services that Virtuize can provide to businesses that use Parallels Virtuozzo Containers, ranging from implementation to training. We are also impressed by the performance and usability of the award-wining Parallels Virtuozzo Containers”, says Suren Lalapet, a Principal Consultant at Virtuize Inc.

Virtualization has been around for years, but businesses are taking a closer look at the range of benefits that virtualization delivers, such as server consolidation, energy savings, better SLAs, disaster recovery, reduction in total cost of ownership, and return on investment. Virtuize provides end-to-end consulting and implementation services using its Virtuize-EE engagement engine, which emerged as a byproduct of the experience gathered implementing virtual infrastructures.

“Virtuize’s considerable expertise and broad range of services is the perfect complement to Parallels Virtuozzo Containers, which offers more than 3x the number of virtual servers per physical box than any other server virtualization solution,” said Maria Carl, Director of Channel Sales, Parallels. “We’re delighted that we’re able to partner with Virtuize to offer our customers even greater convenience and return on investment.”
