June 13, 2007 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Telecommunications giant BT Plc. (http://www.btplc.com/) has chosen 3Tera’s AppLogic Operating System for Utility Computing Services (http://www.3tera.com) to power its new utility computing services, it was announced yesterday. The company has signed a “multi-year deal” to use 3Tera’s AppLogic grid operating system.
“After reviewing numerous solutions and considering building a solution internally, we determined that 3Tera’s AppLogic is the solution best positioned to meet our immediate needs. AppLogic enables BT to deliver market leading on-demand computing services,” explained BT’s Director, Concept to Market, Mr. Kevin Nickels.
“We were impressed by BT’s market foresight and leadership in the Telco industry. They appreciate the need to stay on top of the utility computing market. By adopting AppLogic, BT will continue to keep its leadership in enabling major new operational capabilities,” added 3Tera President and CEO, Mr. Vlad Miloushev.
3Tera’s AppLogic grid operating system “eliminates the need for co-location, private racks and managed services by enabling the assembly, deployment and management of infrastructure and applications using only a browser and basic IT skills”. It is the first commercial platform designed specifically to enable “true utility computing”.
The operating system converts hosted commodity servers into scalable grids on which users can visually operate, deploy and scale transactional web applications without any modification of code. At the heart of AppLogic is 3Tera’s disposable infrastructure technology, which makes distributed web applications self-contained and portable - enabling them to run on any grid anywhere in the world. As a result, applications become completely separated from the hardware infrastructure traditionally needed to run them; allowing users to remotely manage their applications through a web browser, and provision resources as needed.
