3Tera is constructing an application store to market its cloud components, this should create more applications and opportunities for the 3PAR solution as well as create new opportunities for cloud applications and allow innovation between developers and end user requirements.

The more accessible we make utility and on demand services, the more we make cloud and utility computing easier, the more we prove the concept, enable end users to test and innovate it as a platform for business. Granted it might not be something you do over night, but being able to buy the capacity you need for the time you need it, whether it’s grid/web/VMware capacity, or the ability to test that application can be a freeing experience for the development teams, and be the real difference between possibilities and a reality, a business enabling tool.

(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Utility computing software provider 3Tera (www.3tera.com) announced last week that it is constructing the 3Tera AppStore, a marketplace for cloud components.

The move furthers a trend toward this sort of application portal among developers of software that can act as a platform for other applications. The obvious examples would be Apple’s similarly named App Store, and Blackberry’s more recently introduced version of the same. But more directly comparable would be the application distribution services attached to Salesforce.com, Parallels and Microsoft’s Windows Server software.

According to 3Tera, the AppStore is currently being constructed and populated with applications. The company expects a beta version of the portal to be available in the third quarter of 2009.

An information page for the AppStore, including a “become a partner” link, is available at the company’s website.

3Tera says its AppStore is a portal offering access to software packaged for use in cloud computing deployments based on the company’s AppLogic grid computing engine. The catalog includes a variety of data center applications, including networking components, server components and storage solutions, along with application software stacks and management and monitoring tools.
