Parallels Automation can be customized to provide the types of hosting services that service providers want to offer to their customers. Vertically customized solutions are available for telecom providers, ISPs, domain registrars, and hosting providers.
Parallels Automation deployments are optimized for the current stage of the provider's lifecycle.
Starting a hosting business
Parallels Automation is an ideal platform for starting a hosting business because it can scale as your business grows and accommodate new service offerings as market needs change. The ability to integrate with existing systems makes Parallels Automation an ideal platform for ISPs and telecom carriers who need to expand their business to include hosting and domain registration services.
Migrating from a different platform
Parallels Automation provides a carrier grade solution for service providers whose business has grown beyond the capabilities of an existing platform. Parallels Automation
software flexibility and Parallels' expertise provide a mechanism for service providers to migrate customers from an existing platform to a fully automated Parallels Automation solution. Parallels has successfully migrated customers from in-house solutions and from several different third party platforms.
Consolidating from several platforms
Parallels Automation's flexibility makes it the platform choice for companies who have acquired or merged with other companies and require system integration. Frequently, the promise of mergers is hampered by disparate systems and cultural differences. Parallels System Automation can help overcome the systems issues by providing a single common platform for service delivery. Parallels expertise can be used to recommend a plan of action with regard to how and when customers should be migrated.
A subset of the full Parallels System Automation functionality is available for service providers who want to launch targeted applications. Modules are available for hosting business class email using Microsoft Exchange, shared web hosting using Apache or IIS, and virtual private server hosting using Virtuozzo. Providers that purchase a single module can purchase and install additional modules when they are ready to market additional services.
