Recently Parallels launched a new version of Parallels Plesk Panel 9. This is one of the most broadly deployed tools helping hosting companies deliver services to their customers. This is a key component of cloud computing as well.

How Parallels describes Plesk Panel 9

Profitable - Give yourself access to more. The Parallels Plesk Panel is the only panel which offers the direct availability of hundreds of applications for your end users.

What's new?

Parallels has done extensive research on how customers use Plesk Panel and have redone the user interface to make the product easier to use and to reduce user confusion. They've also made it possible for people to use the Postfix mail server rather than Qmail.

Snapshot analysis

Although many suppliers are speaking about cloud computing and the glowing future that approach offers, only a few talk about the back-end tools that would allow a hosting company to make it possible for customers to select needed features, order them and then manage the resulting IT infrastructure. Parallels is one of the few suppliers have a highly scalable, easy to use and cost-effective offering.

Parallels Plesk also has the possibility of being an important component of an in-house cloud as well.
