Grid Utility Hosting On The Cloud

There, now that we have all the “buzzwords” out of the way, we can get to the business of it all. Grid/Cloud/Utility computing/hosting is the same thing. DomainGurus stands by the following definition: “a type of computing where dynamic resources are provided as a service over the Internet.”

Are you tired of dealing with hardware issues and concerns? Get your own Virtual Private Datacenter from DomainGurus and discover what utility computing can do for your business. Imagine having access to your own private datacenter which you can manage from anywhere in the world using nothing more than a browser.

Where Do I Begin?

It’s really quite simple, start by selecting a base plan from the samples below. Don’t worry about scaling – you can add resources to any VPD within hours. You can upgrade any of these plans according to your needs.

How High Can A Cloud Go?

Each grid is capable of achieving the specs below. However, with a Gig Uplink (or more), nothing is stopping you from adding more grids to your cloud. In this case, the sky really is the limit.

AppLogic Currently Supports The Following Hardware
Resource	Min	Max
CPU Cores	2	1024
RAM	2GB	2,048GB
Storage	750GB	512,000GB (512TB)
IP addresses	32	1024

Is It Really This Easy?

Yes it is really that easy. Grid computing is basically a cluster of servers in which, let’s say 4 servers perform as a few dozen different servers and appliances, or even as one Supercomputer. 3Tera’s AppLogic™ grid computing operating system has mastered the art, by removing the science from managing a cluster, and DomainGurus has partnered with AppLogic to bring you the Virtual Private Datacenter.
