Introduces memory and CPU resource guaranteed service with server virtualization, called FPS service for Windows.

SWsoft, a server automation and virtualization software company, yesterday announced that Clara Online, a virtual private server hosting company in Japan, has selected Virtuozzo virtualization software and Plesk control panel software to power its Windows virtual dedicated server hosting offerings.

According to the company, the VPS hosting service uses Virtuozzo technology to provide multiple virtual servers on a single physical server. Each virtual server is given 'admin access rights.' Clara Online will also introduce memory and CPU resource guaranteed service with server virtualization, called FPS service for Windows.

"We've been asked by our customers to offer a Windows-based hosting solution such as ASP.NET," said Kentaro Iemoto, Clara Online President and CEO. "By teaming with SWsoft, we are able to offer a Windows VPS service for the first time in Japan to meet the needs of our customers. With the market-proven and powerful SWsoft virtualization solution, Clara Online's Windows Virtual dedicated servers provide lower price points, yet premium values in performance and service for Windows hosting."

"Clara Online has been successful with its VPS hosting offering and creative strategies," said Matthew Edmond, Managing Director, SWsoft. "With Clara Online's expertise in its Linux VPS offering, customers in Japan can confidently adopt the expanded Windows VPS service powered with Virtuozzo and Plesk software."
