Self Managed Dedicated Server Solutions Provider Layered Technologies Launches Utility Computing Server Grid |
 |
November 8, 2006 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Self managed dedicated server solutions provider Layered Technologies (http://www.layeredtech.com) has launched a utility computing server grid - a 32 node grid-server network called "The Grid Layer" (TGL).
According to the company, TGL offers a range of advantages including “rapid deployment of utility based services and platforms with scalable CPU, memory and storage”. The system also allows administrators “to design, edit, configure, and control multi-tier applications using the intuitive web-based drag and drop editor”. Applications running on TGL automatically scale from 1 to 32 servers without code changes. In addition, should a hardware node become unavailable TGL will facilitate immediate recovery by redeploying the application and IP resources to the next available node.
“Grid-based solutions empower administrators with basically the ease of flipping a light switch in order to plan, build, migrate and deploy entire internet based infrastructures,” explained Todd Abrams, President of Layered Technologies. “Think of TGL being like an Electric Power Utility Company where each user pays for the electricity they consume. However, with TGL, customers pay for the on-demand CPU, network, server and storage capacity utilized. Plus, TGL provides clients ultimately with more flexible hosting options. For customers wanting more than a traditional dedicated server, they will be able to purchase the specific amount in virtual nodes on the grid.”
TGL utilizes CPanel or DirectAdmin like regular dedicated servers. "Unlike other grid service providers, TGL allows our clients to use the popular control panels available today. We plan on porting every major control panel and open source application on to the TGL platform," said Jeremy Suo-Anttila, Chief Technology Officer of Layered Technologies. |
