About Parallels Server Bare Metal 5.0

Parallels Server Bare Metal 5.0 allows you to simultaneously run Parallels virtual machines and Containers on a single server. With Parallels Server Bare Metal, you can efficiently use your server's hardware resources by sharing them among multiple virtual machines and Containers.

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

  • 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 Management Console . Parallels Management Console is a remote management tool for Parallels Server Bare Metal with a graphical user interface. You can use this tool to manage servers and Parallels virtual machines residing on them.

    Note : In this version of Parallels Server Bare Metal, you cannot use Parallels Management Console to create and manage Parallels Containers.

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