[The-REV]

Plesk 8.1 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.

The release of Plesk 8.1 is the first step in providing our users with a unified automation solution. This new version of the software brings platform parity to Plesk and continues to deliver innovative ease of use, the highest levels of stability and performance, security and unmatched value. This is a major release for the Windows version of the software which now contains many of the features and capabilities found in the Linux version making Plesk the true leader in multi-platform control panels.

The new release is designed to increase the administrator, client and domain user experience. The Plesk Desktop feature makes the user interface 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. As part of OPEN FUSION, this new release of the control panel is highly integrated with Virtuozzo.

Major advances include:
New Desktop Feature
Customizable Interface Templates
Improved Virtuozzo Integration
Ruby on Rails Support
Feature highlights include:

More WebStats Available - Now users can use AWstats as an alternative web statistics program. AWstats is a powerful tool that generates advanced web, streaming, ftp or mail server statistics.

Support for More Operating Systems ? Plesk supports more operating systems than ever before. In this new release, support was added for FedoraCore 5 (i586, x86_64), SuSE ES 10 (i586, x86_64) and Ubuntu 6.06 (i586, x86_64). Virtuozzo templates for all new OS?es are also available.

MySQL 5 Support ? In addition to supporting a new FedoraCore version, the Linux version of the software will now support MySQL 5 which delivers advanced SQL standard-compliant features such as stored procedures, triggers, views and pluggable storage engines.

FreeBSD Packages - Plesk 8.1 for FreeBSD operating systems is distributed as a set of pkg packages (similar to RPM/Deb on Linuxes) instead of shell self-extracting archives as in previous releases. This new feature allows administrators to omit optional components during installation and to update Plesk and third-party components separately.

Improved Plesk Density on Virtuozzo - Plesk is optimized to operate within Virtuozzo Virtual Environments. Now, you can host up to 15 percent more virtual private servers with Plesk on a single physical server (measured on a typical server with Dual Xeon CPU and 8 gigabytes of RAM).
