Layered Tech Announces Super Grid
FRISCO, Texas, Aug. 8 -- Layered
Technologies, a leading provider of reliable, affordable, and scalable
on-demand, self-managed utility hosting services, today announced the
availability of the industry's largest virtual private datacenter
(VPDC) -- the Super Grid. Controlled with just a browser, the VPDC is
comprised of 443 CPUs, 920GB RAM and 47TB of storage, utilizing
Intel platforms coupled with 3tera's AppLogic software. The VPDC is a
cost-effect alternative for enterprises considering building out new
facilities or leasing co-location space.
With clients in over 120
countries, Layered Technologies' custom technology solutions allow both
large and small customers to rapidly deploy on-demand hosting and
utility computing services, providing all the controls of colocation
without the start up costs, capital investments, long term contracts
and associated challenges. By partnering with Layered Technologies,
companies are able to achieve ROI quickly via reduced capital
investment, total cost of ownership (TCO), labor reduction, training
and floor space. Layered Technologies can have a company up and running
in days versus months.
Recent benchmarking results show that the
VPDC can easily scale from 10 servers to more than 100 servers without
significant performance issues. "Our testing results make it clear to
enterprise customers that they don't have to, or need to, invest in a
datacenter full of hard steel technologies," said Jeremy Suo-Anttila,
CTO of Layered Technologies. "With the VPDC, users get complete control
of their own private grid. Using our visual interface, they set up and
assemble disposable virtual infrastructure, including firewalls, load
balancers, web servers, database servers, NAS boxes, visually, by
pointing and clicking. Users can also add more resources to their grid
at any time."
The VPDC Platinum Package includes:
- 4 x Dual Core Opteron 2218 (Total of eight cores).
- 4 x 8192MB of RAM.
- 4 x 2 Terabytes of Storage (2 x 1TB drives).
