Peter Bauert Announces Host Europe Uses Virtuozzo in its Greening Initiative
One of the leading internet service providers in Austria, Germany and Switzerland, Host Europe has chosen to use the virtualization software solution Virtuozzo, a premier product of Swiss based Parallels, Inc., considered one of the leading virtualization software development companies in the world with offices in Washington. This was disclosed recently by Peter Bauert, the company CFO and COO that says that the transaction has proven to be an outstanding success to Host Europe could serve as a model for other host providers to follow suit.
The software is a flagship software solution using virtualization technology designed to address the growing needs of hosting and internet service providers to offer a larger capacity without many footprints in the planet’s effort to preserve its eco-systems. Virtualization provides a sustainable capacity solution that addresses high IT infrastructure support and energy consumption. No need to add additional servers that only eat more power since virtualization enables Host Europe to create virtual machines as dedicated servers to its clients from a single server. Peter Bauert is proud to say that its Virtuozzo product has created the software infrastructure for Host Europe to continue offering the same level of service excellence this time in a more cost effective, efficient and eco-friendly operating environment.
Host Europe is recognized for its wide range of internet services that include enterprise hosting, VPS servers, co-location and managed hosting services. The company started its green hosting program in 2005 and has since completed a 3-part strategy. They have implemented virtualization using the Virtuozzo, constructed an energy-efficient data center located in Köln and acquired carbon-free energy system from similar eco-friendly green suppliers. Peter Bauert congratulates Host Europe’s Operations Director Patrick Pulvermueller, who declares that “Virtualization is the only green hosting initiative, which has been deployed across all of Host Europe’s data centers and has improved our profitability.” The introduction of virtualization has enabled the company to focus more on developing its virtualizes servers to provide the same performance level by sharing CPU idle resources and memory cycles, along with better VPS management. The result is about 63% in energy consumption and lowered server operating costs by 70%.
