Aliso Viejo, California – (The Hosting News) – February 13, 2009 – Utility, grid, and cloud computing solutions firm, 3Tera, Inc., has debuted the general availability release of version 2.4 of its AppLogic cloud computing platform.

Bert Armijo, SVP sales, marketing and product management, 3Tera remarked, ”3Tera is committed to enabling enterprises to run anything in the cloud that they run in their datacenter today. Adding production support for the most popular operating systems to AppLogic’s proven, scalable cloud computing architecture is a significant step in ensuring that world class IT is now available to companies of all sizes.”

The release includes commercial support for both 32- and 64-bit virtual appliances running the most popular datacenter operating systems Linux, Sun Solaris, Open Solaris and Microsoft Windows Server. Other new features include interface improvements, system dashboards, catalog application stacks in ready-to-run templates, an appliance kit for easy creation of new appliances and an architecture-aware monitoring system with API.

John Pozadzides, Chief Marketing Officer, Layered Tech noted, ”A unified cloud platform supporting all major datacenter operating systems and functions is critical to the growth of today’s IT. Economic conditions are forcing enterprises to look into the flexibility cloud computing offers, and AppLogic gives us the ability to provide scalability and redundancy to customers more efficiently than they could operate themselves.”
