Virtuozzo 2.6 is out!
Here are some of the new features...
Complete Plesk Integration - When Plesk Control Panel is installed in a Virtuozzo-based VPS, Virtuozzo Power Panel functionality becomes available directly from the familiar Plesk admin interface. This interface can be used even when Plesk itself is not running or when the VPS is not running.
Virtuozzo Power Panels - Powerful web-based tool for the VPS owner. Using Power Panels, a VPS owner can perform start, stop, backup, restore and other management tasks. Even complete VPS reinstallation can be handled by the VPS owner without involving a provider's support.
Increased Density - New model of enhanced memory management, improved CPU utilization and optimization of Plesk for Virtuozzo-based deployment provide better density and performance of Plesk when running in Virtuozzo.
Vzcache Utility - Ability to "template" common VPS files, re-establishing cross-VPS file sharing, and saving on disk and memory usage on the server.
Master Node Concept in VZMC - Simplified management of IP addresses and other network settings, guaranteeing assignment of unique VPS IDs and making possible single-click VPS provisioning where all major VPS parameters are assigned automatically.
Additional top features:
Reboot Working "Out of the Box" - VPS now has its own BIOS, which can handle bootstrap procedures before the first process in a VPS starts. To make reboot command work in a VPS before Virtuozzo 2.6, a script might check all the VPSs periodically and start those VPSs needed to start after reboot command. In this Virtuozzo release, VPS reboots are handled automatically in VZagent, which eliminates the need for periodic VPS checks to conserve server power and further improve stability.
Vzlist Utility - A convenient way to quickly retrieve the most important information about VPSs created on the server. This utility provides information in human-readable form, as well as output suitable for parsing and for scripting languages.
Name Based Hosting Support - Virtuozzo 2.6 provides name-based support for HTTP, FTP, POP3 and SMTP protocols. Virtuozzo Name-Based Hosting advances the concept of Apache-like sharing of IP addresses to the Virtuozzo platform, enabling the provisioning of shared web accounts with the Virtuozzo level of isolation. A separate Name-Based hosting deployment guide is also available.
Control Panel on VPS IP - Virtuozzo Power Panel web interface URL may reside on VPS own IP address (https://www.myvps.com:8443), making it easy to memorize for convenience. VZPP can be accessed regardless of VPS state, even if VPS is stopped or completely broken.
Sendfile over VZFS Support - Sendfile() system call implies a number of specific requirements to the underlying file system and does not work if the file system does not fit these requirements. However, to make applications depending on this system call work in the Virtuozzo environment without additional configuration, Virtuozzo now supports this system call over VZFS file system.
