March 15, 2007 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – 3Tera's (http://www.3tera.com) AppLogic system has been named 2007 Category Breaker Award winner by Network World magazine (http://www.networkworld.com). The award was given for the system’s ease in enabling easy visual control of infrastructure and web-based applications.
The 2007 Category Breaker Award honors “products and services that break market boundaries and provide a novel approach to solving IT challenges”. Selected by Network World columnists and writers, awards are offered for products introduced and reviewed during the previous year.
3Tera’s AppLogic grid operating system received the prestigious award because it enables users to virtualize an entire infrastructure, operate and scale web applications, and enables a “pay-as-you-go model”.
“We selected 3Tera’s AppLogic as a 2007 Category Breaker product because it’s unique in the market. AppLogic goes beyond server virtualization by allowing a user to conceive of an entire system, painlessly ‘drag and drop’ it together, and provision resources as needed,” explained Network World magazine columnist and IT consultant Mr. Mark Gibbs. “It’s the first product that virtualizes infrastructure to the point where management costs of web and service applications plummet, providing a unique solution to a profound enterprise problem.”
“Software-as-a-Service companies are looking for a system that gets their applications to market quickly and enables them to scale on demand without the enormous capital and labor required to own and operate a data center,” added 3Tera, Inc.’s Co-founder and Vice President of Product Management Mr. Bert Armijo. “We’re honored to be selected as a winner of Network World’s 2007 Category Breaker Award. The award further validates AppLogic, its ability to remove today’s infrastructure burdens and allow companies to regain control of their applications and services, and 3Tera’s overall vision for utility computing.”
