Helps ISVs Ensure Software Compatibility with Parallels Virtualization Products

RENTON, Wash., May 21, 2008 – Parallels announced today the Parallels Certification Program, which enables software vendors to test their products and certify their compatibility with Parallels virtualization software. Product certification provides assurance to end users that popular ISV applications are supported and compatible with Parallels virtualization solutions.

Certification is available for software vendors that want to assure compatibility with Parallels virtualization products, including Parallels Virtuozzo Containers, Parallels Desktop for Mac, Parallels Server and Parallels Workstation.

"Certification spans our entire desktop and server virtualization software portfolio, which is the broadest in the industry," said Serguei Beloussov, CEO of Parallels. "Through this program, customers will have confidence that they can deploy a broad range of ISV applications with our award-winning server and desktop virtualization software."

"Through our certification with Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac desktop virtualization software, our MojoPac software product is now available to the Mac community," said Pete Foley, CEO of RingCube Technologies, Inc. "We're extending the reach of our Windows-based desktop solution to the fast-growing Mac market by taking advantage of Parallels virtualization software."
