July 11, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Server automation and virtualization provider SWsoft (swsoft.com) announced on Wednesday that its SWsoft Plesk 8.2 now supports the application packaging standard. APS defines a specification for software vendors to create pluggable applications that can be delivered by any service provider.

The new Plesk software also includes single sign-on technology, which streamlines the integration required by modern SaaS solutions by enabling end-users to manage applications using a single login and password.

"Plesk 8.2 is a major milestone for SWsoft that will allow service providers to extend affordable, reliable SaaS solutions to more customers, particularly small-to-medium businesses, and will create new revenue opportunities for software vendors," says Serguei Beloussov, CEO of SWsoft.  "This release of Plesk delivers greater flexibility with new options for e-commerce and email protection, and further advances our open fusion initiative."  

New features in Plesk 8.2 include APS standard support, single sign-on, Sitebuilder 4.0 integration, Plesk Anti-Virus powered by Kaspersky module, MIVA merchant e-commerce module, ColdFusion management interface, CommuniGate Pro support and MyLittleAdmin support.

SWsoft recently announced that Prox System Design has selected SWsoft virtualization and automation software to enhance its virtual dedicated server service called Dual Stream, available this month.
