Virtuozzo has a file system that makes the partition secured and separated from other partitions. It prevents files from other data from mixing and influencing data in other partition. Each VPS has their own network address, own login credentials, system processes and daemon services. This system is recommended for production servers that work with live data and application because data can be transferred from one virtual environment to another live host.

The tutorial video will guide the user to configure the Virtual Power Panel Interface. The user can adjust the setting depending on his preferences and needs. This tutorial will teach the user to modify setting on Configure Panel.

By following the step-by-step guide, the user will learn to change interface, language, server time and status refresh:

1. Hosting Tutorials will demonstrate how to configure Virtuozzo Power Panel Interface.

2. To access the Configuration Setting, log in to Virtuozzo Power Panel (VZPP).

3. Choose the category Other and click Configure on the Navigation area to be able to go to VZPP Configure Setting. This can be found on the left side of the VZPP.

4. On the right side of the Interface Skin, click the drop down button to modify the display parameters of the VZPP.

5. For this tutorial, choose and click Modern Silver as the Interface Skin.

6. Changes will work after clicking the Submit Button. The Interface Skin will not affect the performance of VZPP.

8. To adjust the Status Bar setting, click the drop down button and choose Smart Update Option. The status bar will be refreshed once in every 60 seconds, but it has to follow VZPP links.

9. Displayed language can also be modified on the Interface Language.

10. For this tutorial, click the drop down button and choose French as the displayed language.

11. The modified Local Time Zone can affect information on Status Change, QoS Alerts and Action Log. Click the drop down button and choose Server Default located above the (GMT +0:00) Africa/Abidjan. Always double check if the time and date information is right to avoid problems in the future.

12. Forgot password information will be sent on the email address written on the Contact Email bar. The user must remember the email address he put.

13. Click the Submit button to confirm all the changes done on the Configure Panel.

Virtuozzo is a server virtualization software that creates a stand-alone virtual private server (VPS). It partitions a Windows or Linux server into virtual environments or multiple execution environments. This software created by SWSoft allows the administrator to run a single operating system (OS) as its main core and distribute the cores function to the partitions of Windows or Linux. Unlike other virtual machine model where VPS are run from a single CPU and has to run on multiple OS at the same time, Virtuozzo only uses one CPU and one OS. Because of this, each VPS or stand-alone entity can be independently rebooted.

The video demonstration will show how to change setting on Virtuozzo Power Panel. The user will learn the different parts of the configure panel. It will demonstrate how to change the interface skin, language, server time, and how to change status refresh.
