Clifton, New Jersey - (The Hosting News) - March 20, 2007 - DedicatedNOW’s Virtual Clustered Hosting, is being supported by utility and grid computing solutions firm, 3Tera, Inc.’s AppLogic Utility Computing Platform.

Virtual Cluster is designed to allow small businesses to scale their online service quickly and effortlessly. DedicatedNOW’s Virtual Cluster is a managed hosting solution developed to facilitate scaling of online services.

Jay Silverglate, CEO of DedicatedNow noted, ”We’ve found that many smaller companies may lack the resources and manpower to deploy full scale managed clusters. Moreover, developing fully managed clusters may be cost prohibitive for these companies. Unlike traditional clustered hosting, our Virtual Clusters provide redundancy and reliability for our clients. They are deployed across enterprise class servers, using the AppLogic utility computing platform, which allows us to deploy, manage, optimize and scale the Virtual Cluster solution to accommodate customer demands for high availability and scalability.”

Very cool, bringing more opportunities for small/medium businesses to scale out their infrastructure has to be a good thing, I wonder how long it might be before we find the concept of capacity on demand becoming more mainstream?
