Web Hosting Utilites Firm, 3Tera, Upgrades SaaS and Web 2.0 Applications

Aliso Viejo, California - (Website Hosting Directory) - October 1, 2007 - Web hosting utility firm, 3Tera, has formed an alliance with IT services firm, ENKI, to facilitate scaling for Web 2.0 and SaaS companies.

The relationship is hoped to build upon the strength of 3Tera's utility computing technology and ENKI's proven IT consulting experience to enable grid users to maximize the benefits of AppLogic-based grid solutions, including high-availability, rapid scalability, easy deployment and re-use of software.

ENKI's support and implementation services will focus on enabling AppLogic customers to rapidly deploy their new or existing applications into the grid environment while optimizing performance, security, and uptime. In addition, ENKI will build and support software appliances for the AppLogic catalog, enabling customers to define their applications in 3Tera's grid technology using off-the-shelf building blocks.

Vlad Miloushev, President and CEO of 3Tera explained, ''ENKI's expertise in enterprise IT is a natural fit with 3Tera's technology. Now, AppLogic users can take advantage of ENKI's proven experience in all aspects of data center design and operations, including business continuity, backup strategies, application design, security, deployment, performance optimization and monitoring, all without owning an enterprise data center. These are skills that Web 2.0 and SaaS companies need but often do not have easily available.''

David Durkee, CEO of ENKI offered, ''We started as a 3Tera customer and got really excited when we discovered how utility computing enables small companies to compete in larger markets. In my previous experience as CIO of NetSuite.com I designed and managed multiple data centers and I wanted to find a technology that allows creation of highly reliable and easily scalable infrastructure without high costs, large headcount, or long implementation times. In 3Tera we found a partner that not only understands and supports that vision, but has the technology and technical capability to deliver on it.''

Jordi Miro Bruix, CTO of Mixsic.com added, ''We have been using grid services for sometime now, but we're not grid experts. Working with ENKI allowed us to make better use of utility computing, and quickly create new applications that have had great benefit. We are more than happy with the results and I would recommend ENKI to anyone.''

ENKI, LLC is a California Limited Liability Company founded on the vision of bringing enterprise-class Information Technology capabilities to growing companies seeking to gain maximum value from their IT investments, focusing particularly on the expanding Web 2.0 and SaaS business segments.

Recently, 3Tera added application monitoring and multi-CPU scalability to its AppLogic utility computing platform solution, for SaaS and Web 2.0 applications, to provide greater scalability, improved resource utilization, visibility and control over application performance. According to the company, AppLogic 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.

3Tera, Inc. provides grid and utility computing solutions designed to simplify the deployment, operation and scaling of online services. The company's AppLogic grid operating system was developed to allow web hosting providers to offer true utility computing that enables anyone with a browser and basic IT skills to operate dozens of servers, and hundreds of online applications, without owning and operating hardware infrastructure. 3Tera is a privately-held company headquartered in Aliso Viejo, California with R and D facilities in Silicon Valley, Israel and Eastern Europe.
