Layered Technologies Leverages 3Tera's AppLogic Grid Operating System to Offer Grid-based Private Servers and Web Hosting Services
3Tera, Inc., the innovator of grid and utility computing solutions for online services and Layered Technologies, Inc., a leading hosting provider of self-managed, dedicated server platforms and services, today announced Layered Technologies will leverage 3Tera's AppLogic grid operating system to offer grid-based private servers and Web hosting services to its customers.
Aliso Viejo, CA and Frisco, TX (PRWEB) November 7, 2006 -- 3Tera, Inc., the innovator of grid and utility computing solutions for online services, and Layered Technologies, Inc., a leading hosting provider of self-managed, dedicated server platforms and services, today announced Layered Technologies will leverage 3Tera's AppLogic grid operating system to offer grid-based private servers and Web hosting services to its customers. The grid–based solution will provide Layered Technologies' customers with benefits such as quick and easy resource provisioning, instant high availability and on-demand scalability, and for the first time, they won't have to worry about how many, and what kinds, of servers they're running.
"3Tera's grid technology is positioned to radically change today's Web hosting market and Layered Technologies is among the first hosting providers to leverage these benefits to offer private grid servers and new Web hosting services," said Todd Abrams, President & COO, Layered Technologies, Inc. "Using the AppLogic platform enables us to offer our customers new critical functionality such as rapid provisioning, snapshots, universal high availability and scalability for their online solutions in a cost-effective way."
Unlike any grid offering on the market today, 3Tera's AppLogic is a true multi-purpose grid operating system designed to run any Web application on the commodity servers hosting providers already have in place. AppLogic's ability to package Web applications and the infrastructure required to deliver them into easy-to-manage entities allows numerous services to be offered from the same grid. This opens up a wealth of opportunities for hosting providers and their customers. Rather than adding physical hardware to introduce a new product or handle temporary traffic loads, hosting providers can now simply run the AppLogic platform on top of existing infrastructure to significantly streamline their own operations while providing their customers with efficient provisioning, snapshots, universal high availability and complete control of their applications. Customers are freed from the cost and complexity of owning and managing hardware infrastructure.
"Layered Technologies can now offer, in addition to the dedicated server model, the new easy-to-manage grid infrastructure in order to provide affordable Web hosting plans while achieving the ultimate in flexibility for hosting solutions," said Vlad Miloushev, President & CEO, 3Tera, Inc. "AppLogic eliminates the barrier between grid computing and Web applications so hosting providers like Layered Technologies can offer their customers an easy and cost-effectively to manage their own applications without ever having to worry about the infrastructure."
"Deploying Web applications on AppLogic-based private servers provides instant scalability and high availability to our customers," said Jeremy Suo-Anttila, CTO for Layered Technologies, Inc. "For example, grid disk failures become a non-issue as all the data volumes are constantly mirrored on multiple servers so the running application is never interrupted. Even the failure of a server becomes painless, as AppLogic will automatically provision replacement resources on the grid."
About the AppLogic Grid Operating System
AppLogic is the first and only grid operating system designed to run and scale existing transactional Web applications. The system is based on scalable grid architecture, advanced virtualization technologies and 3Tera's ground-breaking disposable infrastructure. AppLogic converts existing commodity servers into scalable shared grids that are easy to manage. Disposable infrastructure packages applications and the infrastructure required to run them into self-contained and portable entities. As a result, AppLogic enables users to easily deploy existing Web applications on a grid, instantiate and scale them without modification, and without requiring a SAN or other shared storage. By completely separating software from the hardware infrastructure traditionally needed to run it, AppLogic is enabling the first true utility services to be offered.
