"In today's dynamic market place, as the business demand increases and information technology becomes the bottleneck to fast delivery of new services, many companies are looking to find an easier way to bring new functionality online and reduce the cost of supporting and maintaining IT Infrastructure," said Mike Michalik, CEO, Cirrhus9. "Cloud Computing has the ability to significantly reduce these costs not only by reducing server count, power consumption and data center real estate but more importantly by providing a robust, secure and scalable infrastructure environment. We've chosen 3tera's cloud computing platform as a solution that we can provide to our clients."
"We are happy to work with Cirrhus9, because the company shares our vision for the future of IT and the data center," said Bert Armijo, senior vice-president Sales, Marketing and Product management, 3Tera, Inc. "Leveraging cloud computing to bring scalable, on-demand, cloud offering is an ideal solution to change the economics of building and operating Internet-scale infrastructure. Cirrhus9's expertise in FDA Qualification and Validation and their focus on the Life Science industry brings the benefits of cloud computing to new market segments."
"As companies grow, Cirrhus9 provides infrastructure that will automatically scale to meet their computing and storage needs. Most, if not all of the capital investment and expense required to purchase and maintain IT infrastructure, can be eliminated," continues Michalik. "For the Life Science and other industries the net result is that these features bring substantially greater efficiencies, shorter time to market and consistent high-quality infrastructure, with remarkably lower system associated costs, since you only pay for the compute power, storage and services used."
About 3Tera's AppLogic Cloud Computing Platform
The AppLogic grid operating system is the first commercial cloud computing platform designed specifically to enable true utility computing model. 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.
