OpenVZ Project Releases Templates To Create Debian Virtual Private Servers

   
    OpenVZ Project Releases Templates 
  To Create Debian Virtual Private Servers
  Templates enable fast, easy provisioning of servers, for running
Debian-based applications
   
  HERDON, VA, January 9, 2006 -- The OpenVZ project (www.openvz.org) today
released pre-built Debian 3.1 (Sarge) Virtual Private Server (VPS) templates,
enabling real-time provisioning of servers and giving Debian users full use
of Debian applications in the open source operating system virtualization
project.
   
  OpenVZ is an operating system level server virtualization software
technology, built on Linux, that creates isolated, secure virtual private
servers on a single physical server - enabling greater server utilization and
superior availability with fewer performance penalties. The virtual servers
perform and execute like independent servers with their own memory,
configuration files, users and applications. Each can be re-booted
independently.
   
  The Debian templates allow for almost instant (in many cases about a
minute) provisioning of a Debian VPS – giving customers with applications
running on Debian the ability to run those applications on a virtual server,
rather than a full server.
   
  The pre-built Debian 3.1 (Sarge) templates for i386 (x86) and x86_64
(AMD64, EM64T) architectures are available for download at
http://openvz.org/download/template/precreated/.
   
  "There are many companies out there running applications on Debian," said
Kir Kolyshkin, manager of the OpenVZ project. "This will help free up server
space by giving them dedicated virtual servers, rather than dedicated
hardware. We welcome the open source community feedback and invite
participation in our software development efforts."
   
  With the power of modern CPUs from both Intel and AMD (including the latest
dual-core offerings), hardware is often under utilized. With virtualization
technology, the server can effectively be split into many small ones, each
running its tasks so that the whole server is utilized more efficiently.
   
  About the OpenVZ Project
  OpenVZ software serves the needs of the community developers, testers,
documentation experts, and other technology enthusiasts who wish to
participate in and accelerate the technology development process. OpenVZ,
supported by SWsoft, is a subset of the Virtuozzo virtualization software
product.
