About 3Tera's AppLogic Grid Operating System
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.

AppLogic 2.1 grid operating system is available now for existing
customers. Prospective users can find more information at
www.3tera.com. Customers can start building their grid with just a few
servers and can add more resources to the grid as they grow. Basic
support, catalog updates and software upgrades are included.
