June 21, 2007 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Grid computing and utility computing services provider 3Tera, Inc. (http://www.3tera.com) and utility computing and hosting solutions provider Layered Technologies (http://www.layeredtech.com) will demonstrate “the world's largest virtual private datacenter” for powering Web 2.0 and SaaS applications, it was announced yesterday.
"Interest in virtual private datacenters has been tremendous, as Web 2.0 and SaaS organizations face difficulties scaling when the demand for their service increases,” explained Layered Technologies’ COO, Mr. Todd Abrams. "Making a grid of that size available to them today, on-demand, demonstrates that utility computing is ready for prime time."
A virtual private datacenter “eliminates the need for datacenter co-location, private racks and managed hosting services by enabling users to assemble, deploy, monitor and manage all their infrastructure and applications using only a browser”, significantly reducing costs.
"Many people believe the Internet is a game of deep pockets and whoever builds the biggest datacenter holds all the cards," added 3Tera’s President and CEO, Mr. Vlad Miloushev. "Working with Layered Technologies has enabled us to demonstrate how utility computing levels the playing field. With staggering power like this available to anyone, instantly and without long-term commitments, innovative startups with popular applications can serve audiences of millions."
3Tera, Inc. and Layered Technologies’ virtual private data center utilizes 460 processors, 920GB RAM, and 47 terabytes of storage for application deployment. The solution features HP hardware and 3Tera's AppLogic grid operating system. The companies’ initiative will be showcased this week at LT PACT in Las Vegas and during a live online demonstration Wednesday, June 27 at 9am PST, 12 EST.
