"We've found that many smaller companies may lack the resources and manpower to deploy full scale managed clusters", stated DedicatedNow CEO, Jay Silverglate. "Moreover, developing fully managed clusters may be cost prohibitive for these companies. Unlike traditional clustered hosting, our Virtual Clusters provide redundancy and reliability for our clients. They are deployed across enterprise class servers, using the AppLogic utility computing platform, which allows us to deploy, manage, optimize and scale the Virtual Cluster solution to accommodate customer demands for high availability and scalability."

"In the Internet economy today the difference between being a successful growing company and a short-living business idea is the ability to scale and grow your on-line service as the demand grows", stated Bert Armijo, 3Tera's Senior Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Product Management. "With a solution like Dedicated Now's Virtual Cluster, companies can now get their applications to market quickly and scale easily without the enormous capital and labour required to own and to operate IT infrastructure. We are pleased to work with DedicatedNOW because of their dedication to customer service and innovative business ideas."

The Virtual Cluster solution is garnering attention from end users. "With a standard clustered solution, increasing our computing power to keep up with demand was difficult, time consuming and ultimately left our staff overwhelmed", explained Lynn Theobald, founder of strategicmentoring.com, a DedicatedNOW client. "Virtual clustering would allow our staff to rapidly increase and distribute resources as our company grows. The solution just makes sense for companies, like mine, that anticipate rapid growth and the need for resources that go along with that growth."
