Parallels Plesk Panel 10.2 Update

On March 23, at the WorldHostingDays, Parallels, the virtualization and automation software maker, announced the new, 10.2 Parallels Plesk Panel.

This is the first control panel that supports Server Name Indication (SNI) preserving IPv4 addresses, as well as IPv6 addresses. In addition to this it also allows multiple SSL Certificates on one IP address. This updated version of Parallels will now allow service providers to effectively and easily overcome the problem of the looming shortage of IPv4 addresses.

The updated Parallels Plesk Panel 10.2 is still in beta and will be made available to users in April. And, once released, it will offer total support of IPv6 on either Linux or Windows servers, while it will also be able to run each new subscription on either IPv4 or IPv6, or as a dual stack for both IPv4+IPv6 simultaneously.

After the updated version is launched, users will also be able to easily add Share This, Twitter and Facebook links to their websites through the Parallels Sitebuilder. And in addition to this, a new embedded video module has also been added. “We continue to enable our partners to deliver the most innovative services to increase their profits in the cloud. This update to Parallels Plesk Panel helps service providers to remain innovative while ensuring their business is future-proofed.” Jack Zubarev, President of Marketing and Alliances at Parallels, said about the update.

After the updated version of Parallels is launched, VPS providers will be able to offer special, VPS-optimized versions, which will be much more efficient than those of their competitors who do not use the Parallels control panel. Also, the Parallels Plesk Panel 10.2 makes it possible to leave a much lower resource footprint in virtualized environments than the competition. This helps the service providers reduce their operational costs without harming the overall experience by end users. This is made possible by the fact that enabling solely the functions needed by a virtual server, each such server only consumes a small percentage of the resources that it had previously required.
