SWsoft changing name to Parallels
Dec. 12, 2007

SWsoft, a virtualization company that has labored in the shadow of VMware and other vendors for years, is changing its corporate name and plans to make a bigger push into this fast-growing market in 2008.

In January, SWsoft will officially rechristen itself as Parallels—the original name of the virtualization company that SWsoft acquired several years ago, but only officially acknowledged in January 2007. SWsoft also announced Dec. 12 that all of its products, including its signature Virtuozzo software, will be renamed to reflect the corporate name change.

The Herndon, Va., company is also announcing a new initiative in 2008 called "Optimized Computing," which will allow it to deliver desktop and server virtualization, along with other automation features, to customers in a single package of services. More details are expected to come in 2008 after the company makes the official switch to the Parallels name.
