About Parallels Cloud Server 6.0

Parallels Cloud Server 6.0 is a virtualization solution that allows you to simultaneously run multiple Parallels virtual machines and Containers on a single physical server. With Parallels Cloud Server, you can efficiently share your server's hardware resources among virtual machines and Containers.

Parallels Cloud Server is installed directly on the server hardware and does not need any operating system to function. Once it is installed, Parallels Cloud Server allows you to create virtual machines and Containers and manage them using the following tools:

• Parallels command-line interface (CLI) . The command-line interface comprises a set of Parallels command-line utilities that you can use to manage virtual machines and Containers, both locally and remotely.
• Parallels Virtual Automation (PVA) . Parallels Virtual Automation is a remote management tool that allows you to manage physical servers and their virtual machines and Containers with the help of a standard Web browser on any platform.

Graphically, a server with the Parallels Cloud Server software installed can be represented as follows:
