Do you have Windows server chaos and you're not a fan of EMC's VMware? SWsoft can help, as the startup now has Virtuozzo for Windows. Before, the server virtualization software was only available for Linux. The new edition doesn't require extra Windows licenses and is more versatile than Microsoft's own version because it still supports Linux if your company diversifies. It scales to 16-way servers and up to 64GB of memory. SWsoft is partially owned by Intel, so its customers could potentially get early access to systems virtualization as well.
