SWsoft Moves To Virtualize Windows Servers: Page 2 of 2

The release of Virtuozzo for Windows comes during a time of growth for SWsoft. Two weeks ago, the company unveiled a $12.4 million round of venture-capital funding, its first outside funding since the firm launched in 1997, said Kurt Daniel, managing director of marketing and business development at SWsoft.

One of the investors in that round was Intel, with which SWsoft plans joint marketing and business programs, Daniel said. As a result of that investment, SWsoft will have early access to new Intel technology, and Intel will showcase SWsoft's technology in virtualization demos, he said.

As an example, Daniel pointed to Intel's upcoming Vanderpool virtualization technology, which is expected to be released this year. "We'll have early access to it and will build our technology around it," he said.
