Parallels Plesk 8.0 for Linux/Unix marks a major milestone in the development of the software. The Plesk Desktop feature is a significant enhancement to the user interface. In this new release, the interface is designed to be task oriented and fully customizable. This feature has been created to meet the needs of any hosting customer, from non-technical users to advanced technical users.
Plesk Desktop allows all clients to have their own desktops with a customizable set of essential tasks and statistics. Any part of the desktop can be hidden or removed completely from the interface to make it cleaner and easier to use.
As the next step in Parallels’s OPEN FUSION strategy, Plesk 8.0 and Virtuozzo are seamlessly integrated to provide Plesk users with an even more comprehensive solution. Plus, the new "smart" Autoinstaller V3 makes the installation and upgrade of thousands of servers fast, easy and efficient.
Major new features include:
Plesk Desktop — Now administrators and clients have quick access to major management functions and they have immediate access to mission critical information and statistics. The task oriented design also allows administrators to create "favorites" and "shortcuts".
Customizable Interface Templates — In this new release, administrators can customize templates that can be assigned to individual users. This dynamic new features makes the interface straight forward, easy to understand and intuitive.
Improved Virtuozzo Integration — Now, Virtuozzo and Plesk are seamlessly integrated which allows hosting providers to manage more customers more efficiently. Virtuozzo lets you create isolated compartments, which allow you to handle customers in a more secure and reliable environment.
Domain Aliases — This new feature lets domain administrators set up alternative domain names which act as nicknames for websites and e-mail addresses.
Watchdog 2 — A new version of the software’s system monitoring module which monitors diskspace, checks for security problems (Trojans), shows CPU/memory usage statistics and creates reports in case there are usage problems and much more.
Acronis True Image Module — Plesk now comes with a new ATIS module. Using this module, administrators can create server disk backup images without interrupting server operations and perform easy and fast recovery of the entire system.
New Backup Utility — The improved backup/restore utilities let administrators backup and restore client accounts. Also, administrators can select which client’s domains and information to backup/restore. Now domains can be completely restored with the properties they had during the backup. With Backup Manager you may backup and then restore any version of Plesk, which is valuable for migrations.
Autoinstaller V3 — This improved feature lets administrators deploy and upgrade multiple servers in an efficient, cost effective manner. The new architecture allows for improved dependencies tracking and increased speed during installation/upgrade. All of this makes the support of new OSes simpler and easier.
