ServInt, a pioneering provider of managed hosting for enterprises worldwide, today received the Partner Award for Excellence in Virtualized Infrastructure Services and Virtualization from Parallels, the hosting and cloud services enablement leader. The award was presented in Orlando at Parallels Summit 2012, the leading global gathering of the cloud industry.

The annual Parallels Partner Awards recognize outstanding achievements by partners who utilize and innovate with Parallels products, solutions, services and ecosystems to increase their sales – with special attention given to those partners who have excelled in the rapidly expanding small and medium business (SMB) cloud-services market.

“Nearly a decade ago, we chose Parallels Virtuozzo Containers to be the base platform for all our virtualized servers,” said ServInt Chief Technology Officer Matt Loschert. “Since then, we’ve built a Parallels-based, server-management system that truly maximizes the power and scalability of our hosting hardware. This year, as ServInt moves even further into the cloud, we remain an enthusiastic Parallels partner, and we look forward to many more years of jointly developed, industry-changing hosting technologies.”

Jack Zubarev, President, Marketing and Alliances at Parallels, said, “ServInt’s innovative and successful use of Parallels Virtuzzo Containers brought them the well-deserved Parallels Excellence in Virtualized Infrastructure Services and Virtualization award. We are very pleased to partner with ServInt and help them continue to expand their business and profit from the quickly growing IaaS market.”
