Solutions for the Hosting Industry
ALISO VIEJO, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
3Tera, Inc., the leading innovator of grid computing technology
and utility computing services for Web applications, today announced
that HostReview, a prominent online source of information on Web
hosting providers, named 3Tera to its 2007 Top 10 Web Host Awards'
Best SaaS Provider list.
Now featured on the HostReview Web site (www.hostreview.com), the
Top 10 Web Host Awards honor leading companies in eight different
categories. Each award category lists companies who have distinguished
themselves during the past year and have laid the foundations for
continued quality service and innovation in 2008. To create their Best
of the Year awards, HostReview editors reviewed the achievements of

It is for the first time that HostReview is including the Best
SaaS Provider category to its Top 10 Web Host Awards. 3Tera received

"We chose 3Tera as one of our 2007 Best SaaS Providers because its
SaaS solution had a tremendous impact on the entire hosting industry,"
said Darren Tabor, CEO of DevStart, network owner of HostReview. "The
breakthrough AppLogic grid operating system allows hosting providers
to offer true utility computing that enables anyone with a browser and
basic IT skills to operate dozens of servers - and hundreds of online
applications - without owning and operating hardware infrastructure."
"We are honored to be recognized by HostReview as first-class
enabler of SaaS solutions," said Bert Armijo, Senior Vice President of
Sales, Marketing and Product management, 3Tera, Inc. "Partnering with
hosting companies and managed service providers has allowed us to
deliver true utility computing solutions that enable SaaS providers to
quickly deploy and operate their applications on a highly available
and scalable utility computing platform."
3Tera's Award winning AppLogic grid operating system is the first
commercial platform designed specifically to enable true utility
computing. 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. With the ability to
run on any grid anywhere in the world, the disposable infrastructure
technology found in the heart of the AppLogic system packages
applications with the definition of the infrastructure required to run
them into self-contained and portable entities. 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.
