3Tera's AppLogic grid operating system enables utility computing for deploying and scaling online applications.

Successful online services have millions of users, and serving that many users means scaling applications to hundreds and often thousands of servers. Running that many servers also requires at least that many networking and storage devices, adding to the challenge. For this reason, scaling online applications is an enormously difficult problem. Google, Yahoo, eBay and Amazon took years to learn how to do this well, and this knowledge is among their most closely guarded secrets.

3Tera has solved this problem by harnessing the power of grid computing. AppLogic is the first grid operating system that runs and scales existing real-world web applications on grids of commodity servers. Partnering with leading hosting providers, this breakthrough technology enables true utility computing for the first time. AppLogic makes it possible to visually assemble existing software directly into portable applications that run on any grid and scale from a fraction of a server to hundreds of servers with a single command.

3tera is a privately owned company founded in 2004 and based in Aliso Viejo, California, among a cluster of successful technology companies like Broadcom, Quest Software, Western Digital, Emulex, Qlogic, Gateway, Buy.com, FileNet and others.
