In 2004, SWSoft acquired Parallels, Inc. Parallels Workstation for Windows and Linux 2.0 was released in the same year, with Parallels Desktop for Mac following in mid 2006. SWSoft's acquisition of Parallels was kept confidential until January 2004. Parallels Server for Mac allows IT managers to run multiple server operating systems on a single Mac Xserve. In 2007, the German company Netsys GmbH sued Parallels' German distributor Avanquest for copyright violation. Parallels Server for Mac was announced at WWDC, and later Parallels Technology Network. In 2008, SWSoft merged with Parallels to become one company under the Parallels branding, which then acquired ModernGigabyte, LLC. Parallels Server for Mac was launched in June, then in September Parallels Desktop 4 for Windows and Linux, a rename of Parallels Workstation for the 4.0 release, and Parallels Desktop 4.0 for Mac later that year. In the next version, 6.0, the Windows and Linux software became known as Parallels Workstation again. Over the next three years, the company launched Parallels Desktop 5 for Mac, Parallels Desktop 6 for Mac, Parallels Server for Mac 4.0 Mac mini Edition, Parallels Transporter, Parallels Workstation 6 Extreme, Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac, Parallels Mobile for iOS, and Parallels Workstation 6. During 2012, 2013 and 2014, the company discontinued Parallels Server for Mac, Windows and Linux, launched Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac and Mac Management for Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager, and released Parallels Desktop 10 for Mac. Parallels acquired 2X Software in February 2015, rebranded their service provider business to Odin, later sold the Odin Service Automation Platform to Ingram Micro. They also released Parallels Mac Management v4.0 for Microsoft SCCM and Parallels Desktop 11 for Mac. In 2017, Virtuozzo and Plesk, two products from the pre Parallels history of SWSoft , were spun out. In December 2018, Corel announced that it had acquired Parallels. On October 20, 2020, it was announced that Google had partnered with Parallels to bring full featured Windows applications to enterprises and cloud workers using Chrome Enterprise. On February 17, 2023, Microsoft announced its partnership with Parallels Desktop 18 to bring Windows 11 support to M Series Macs.
В 2004 году SWSoft приобрела Parallels, Inc. В том же году была выпущена Parallels Workstation для Windows и Linux 2.0, а в середине 2006 года – Parallels Desktop для Mac. Приобретение Parallels компанией SWSoft оставалось конфиденциальным до января 2004 года. Parallels Server for Mac позволяет ИТ-менеджерам запускать несколько серверных операционных систем на одном Mac Xserve. В 2007 году немецкая компания Netsys GmbH подала в суд на немецкого дистрибьютора Parallels, Avanquest, за нарушение авторских прав. Parallels Server for Mac была анонсирована на WWDC, а затем на Parallels Technology Network. В 2008 году SWSoft объединилась с Parallels, образовав единую компанию под брендом Parallels, которая впоследствии приобрела ModernGigabyte, LLC. Parallels Server for Mac была запущена в июне, а в сентябре – Parallels Desktop 4 для Windows и Linux (переименованная Parallels Workstation для версии 4.0) и Parallels Desktop 4.0 для Mac. В следующей версии, 6.0, программное обеспечение для Windows и Linux вновь стало известно как Parallels Workstation. В течение последующих трех лет компания выпустила Parallels Desktop 5 для Mac, Parallels Desktop 6 для Mac, Parallels Server for Mac 4.0 Mac mini Edition, Parallels Transporter, Parallels Workstation 6 Extreme, Parallels Desktop 7 для Mac, Parallels Mobile для iOS и Parallels Workstation 6. В 2012, 2013 и 2014 годах компания прекратила поддержку Parallels Server для Mac, Windows и Linux, выпустила Parallels Desktop 8 для Mac и Mac Management для Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager, а также Parallels Desktop 10 для Mac. В феврале 2015 года Parallels приобрела 2X Software, переименовала свой бизнес, ориентированный на поставщиков услуг, в Odin и впоследствии продала платформу автоматизации услуг Odin компании Ingram Micro. Также были выпущены Parallels Mac Management v4.0 для Microsoft SCCM и Parallels Desktop 11 для Mac. В 2017 году Virtuozzo и Plesk, два продукта, существовавшие до приобретения Parallels компанией SWSoft, были выделены в отдельные компании. В декабре 2018 года Corel объявила о приобретении Parallels. 20 октября 2020 года было объявлено о партнерстве Google и Parallels для предоставления полноценных приложений Windows корпоративным пользователям и облачным работникам, использующим Chrome Enterprise. 17 февраля 2023 года Microsoft объявила о партнерстве с Parallels Desktop 18 для поддержки Windows 11 на компьютерах Mac серии M.
