Parallels Virtuozzo Containers* 4.5 on Microsoft Windows Server* 2003 / 2008 - Intel® Server Board S3420GP

Parallels Virtuozzo Containers* 4.5 for Windows Server* 2003 and Windows Server 2008, powered by the Intel® Server Board S3420GP, is an operating system virtualization solution that harnesses the full power of an IT infrastructure by increasing the utilization of existing servers by 2X–3X over hypervisor solutions. This solution delivers higher utilization of existing servers and cost savings in maintenance, energy costs, and the potential elimination of new server expenditures. Virtualization at the host operating system provides a lean, efficient virtualization layer that enables higher density ratios of virtual servers to physical servers along with complete isolation between workloads.

The Intel® Server Board S3420GP is an entry server board with essential server-class features. Growing businesses need a reliable server solution for web servers, file and print servers, e-mail servers, storage servers and vertical-specific business applications. A general-purpose entry server platform plays a fundamental role in the success of a workgroup, department, small- to medium- sized business or high performance computing (HPC). The Intel® Server Board S3420GP provides server-class performance without sacrificing cost-effectiveness or reliability.
