Virtuozzo is excited to release our latest version of Virtuozzo Hybrid Server designed for the hosting market that wants a platform that distinguishes you from the rest.
This makes our latest version one of the most powerful platforms to hit the market!
Our latest release stays true to keeping our software products at the cutting edge by leveraging modern architecture that scales effortlessly, offering our customers better stability while improving performance. Virtuozzo has predominantly been running on Intel and we are thrilled to now support the latest AMD EPYC™ 7003-series CPUs (codenamed "Milan"). We truly are hardware agnostic, with the latest architecture support.
We have simplified the installation and listened to our existing customers while taking into account the needs of the market.
This means we now offer more templates from the most widely used control panels used in the hosting market.
Our engineers have also enabled support for templates for Centos 7 and our Vzlinux containers as well as adding support for Alma Linux as a guest OS.
If that wasn’t enough, we also are now adding support for Microsoft Windows Server 2022.
This release, combined with the product’s already powerful features, helps make sure that Virtuozzo, once again, positions itself as the most dominant enablement platform for Hosters and service providers.
We hope you make use of these features and combine it with your innovative offerings and solutions and continue to grow the market.
