Layered Technologies, Inc., a leading worldwide provider of “on
demand” IT infrastructure, and 3Tera, Inc.,
the leading innovator of grid computing technology and utility computing
services for Web applications, today announce support for Woopra, the
real-time Web analytics platform. The companies will provide 100
grid-based servers in order to assist Woopra as it experiences a huge
market demand prior to official launch.
“We are extremely pleased that Layered
Technologies has stepped up to pledge the infrastructure necessary for
us to meet the growing demand for Woopra,”
said Elie Khoury, CIO of Woopra. “We are also
grateful for all of the public feedback and support we have been given
in the past 48 hours. We vow to work as quickly as possible to make
Woopra available to as many as 100,000 Web sites within the next few
weeks.”
Woopra provides real-time stats delivered via a revolutionary
client-server application, and includes unique features such as the
ability to identify and chat real time with visitors to the
monitored site. The beta version of Woopra was quietly unveiled to a
select audience of 200 at WordCamp Dallas, but news rapidly spread to
over 2 million as buzz began to grow.
“We are excited about the launch of Woopra and
the fact that we will be hosting it on The Grid,”
said Todd Abrams, COO and President of Layered Technologies. “With
such high demand, we are working closely with Woopra to ensure that
all of Layered Technologies´ clients can gain access to the application
as quickly as possible.”
With more than 12,000 servers and nearly a decade of experience, Layered
Technologies has developed an expertise in data center operations.
Using 3Tera’s award-winning AppLogic OS,
Layered Technologies is able to provide grid computing solutions by
harnessing the power of their data centers and making it available
on-demand - processing power, bandwidth, and storage capacity. 3Tera’s
AppLogic Grid OS allows a customer to package their entire application
into a single self-contained logical entity. The packaged system can be
scaled from a fraction of a CPU to hundreds of machines without any code
modification.
“The instant growth of Woopra is a perfect
example of how grid solutions provide new capabilities for growth,”
said Peter Nickolov, President and CTO of 3Tera. “Scaling
an online application, such as Woopra, can be enormously challenging.
Being able to quickly deploy and operate on a highly available and
scalable utility computing platform offers a unique business solution.
Partnering with Layered Technologies has allowed us to deliver true
utility computing solutions and help hundreds of companies scale their
application with the growing demand.”
3Tera’s 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.
