April 11, 2007 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Web hosting provider NetLab (http://www.netlab.com/), a provider of grid hosting solutions for businesses, developers and individuals, has launched what it calls the “next generation grid hosting platform.” The NetLab Reactor Grid is powered by 3tera's AppLogic Grid Operating System, and according the company “replaces outdated single server hosting technology with a highly available, highly scalable grid infrastructure”.
The NetLab Reactor Grid offers safeguards against data loss, extended downtime and service degradation the single server approach od traditional forms of web hosting can not compete with. Although load balanced hosting has been available, it has proven costly.
"Anyone who has experienced data loss, extended downtime or service degradation can tell you about the limitations of traditional hosting technology," explained NetLab’s President and CEO Mr. Steve Harwood. "NetLab was created in order to provide a next generation solution to these and other drawbacks and do so in a way that is scalable and affordable for a wide range of users."
"Our approach from the beginning was to insist on using only those components that were hardware optimized for grid computing. By doing this, we were rewarded with 100% confidence that our network provided the highest levels of throughput, security and stability under heavy load," added Mr. Joseph Dempsey, CIO of NetLab. "From the selection of our Tier 4 datacenter, to the deployment of TopLayer, all the way down to the cabling, if it didn't meet our criteria, it wasn't used."
