Case Study: Parallels achieves seamless one-click web-app installation and expanded market reach with ActiveState ActivePerl & ActivePython

Parallels - Customer Case Study

Parallels’ Plesk Panel is a web hosting automation solution that helps small businesses and service providers build and manage websites without requiring expert system administration. The company needed to enable easy, one‑click installation and management of popular Perl‑ and Python‑based web apps (CMSs, wikis, image galleries, etc.) while avoiding installation problems and licensing or QA issues for non‑technical users.

Parallels packaged ActiveState’s ActivePerl and ActivePython OEM distributions with Plesk, giving customers QA‑tested, correctly licensed interpreters that enable seamless out‑of‑the‑box app installs and simplify Parallels’ internal testing. The result is hassle‑free customization for small businesses, broader market reach for Plesk, reduced support and legal overhead, and a smoother customer experience.
