The release leverages on 3Tera's AppLogic Utility Computing Platform and allows small businesses to scale their online service.

DedicatedNOW, a managed hosting and infrastructure outsourcing partner, announced today the offering of Virtual Cluster. The company explains that this new managed hosting solution allows small businesses to quickly and effortlessly scale their online service.

"We've found that many smaller companies may lack the resources and manpower to deploy full scale managed clusters," says DedicatedNow CEO, Jay Silverglate. "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."

"In the Internet economy today the difference between being a successful growing company and a short-living business idea is the ability to scale and grow your online service as the demand grows," says Bert Armijo, 3tera's Senior Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Product Management. "With a solution like Dedicated Now's Virtual Cluster, companies can now get their applications to market quickly and scale easily without the enormous capital and labor required to own and to operate IT infrastructure. We are pleased to work with DedicatedNOW because of their dedication to customer service and innovative business ideas."
