Server automation and virtualisation software provider
SWsoft has
launched Plesk 8.1 for Linux/Unix and Plesk 8.1 for Windows
control
panel software.
The new software adds to the Windows version many of the
features found
in the Linux/Unix version, enabling hosting providers to
offer
comparable solutions to their customers on both platforms.
Future
versions of the software will be released simultaneously.
"Plesk 8.1 marks a major turning point for SWsoft and the
hosting
market by bringing the capabilities of the Linux/Unix version to
the
Windows platform," says Lorena Diaz, product manager, SWsoft.
"After an
intensive product development effort that included the SWsoft
Community
Technology Preview program, Plesk 8.1 delivers a high quality
control
panel solution with significantly enhanced customisation and
management
capabilities for providers, resellers and end users."
Plesk 8.1 for Windows includes functionality - previously
offered only
with Plesk 8.0 for Linux/Unix - to improve ease-of-use and
system
management for administrators and customers. Plesk 8.1 for
Linux/Unix
includes improvements to the custom desktop, new user-friendly
news
management features and support for Fedora Core 5. Plesk Desktop
is
designed to give administrators and clients quick access to
major
management functions and immediate access to mission critical
information and statistics.
In addition, the improved integration of Plesk 8.1 with
SWsoft
Virtuozzo virtualisation software supports SWsoft's
OpenFusion
initiative to move all of its products to a common platform and
advance
integration among a wide range of systems, third party
applications,
and custom and in-house systems. Platform benefits include
reduced
time-to-market for service offerings, more automated and
integrated
systems with single sign-on.
