"Utility Computing or Cloud Computing is quickly gaining popularity with on-line service companies", stated Peter Nickolov, president and COO of 3Tera. "Our latest version provides unprecedented control of applications and virtual private data centre management for production environments, allowing Web 2.0 and SaaS companies to grow and self manage their services using only a browser."

"The product we are announcing today has undergone more testing in beta then any previous release of AppLogic", stated Bert Armijo, VP of Marketing and Product Development at 3Tera. "AppLogic 2.1 allows for greater scalability and control of the infrastructure, assuring users of their ability to grow."

"We’ve been using the new AppLogic for a month. It had a huge impact on enhancing the manageability of our application, especially for scaling Apache and MySQL”, stated Joost Schreve, founder and CEO of EveryTrail Inc., a Web 2.0 start-up building an on-line platform for visualizing travel experiences by mapping and describing geographical locations. "Taking advantage of the monitoring capabilities in the new release helped us easily identify elements that needed more resources. We were able to increase the performance and scale our applications easily."

The AppLogic Grid operating system is the first commercial platform designed specifically to enable true utility computing. The system converts commodity servers into scalable Grids on which users can visually deploy, operate and scale transactional Web applications without any modification of code. At the heart of the system is 3Tera's disposable infrastructure technology that packages applications with the definition of the infrastructure required to run them into self-contained and portable entities, able 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.
