3Tera and ENKI Announce Partnership to Facilitate Scaling for Web 2.0 and SaaS Companies
Relationship Builds on Growing Demand for Utility Computing Services
Aliso Viejo, Calif.—August 7, 2007—3Tera, Inc., the leading innovator of grid computing and utility computing services for web applications, and ENKI, a leading IT services firm, announced today a strategic partnership under which ENKI will provide support and implementation services for 3Tera's AppLogic grid operating system for enterprise and Web 2.0 customers. The relationship builds on the strength of 3Tera's utility computing technology and ENKI's proven IT consulting experience to enable grid users to maximize the benefits of AppLogic-based grid solutions, including high-availability, rapid scalability, easy deployment and re-use of software.
ENKI's support and implementation services will focus on enabling AppLogic customers to rapidly deploy their new or existing applications into the grid environment while optimizing performance, security, and uptime. In addition, ENKI will build and support software appliances for the AppLogic catalog, enabling customers to define their applications in 3Tera's grid technology using off-the-shelf building blocks.
"ENKI's expertise in enterprise IT is a natural fit with 3Tera's technology," said Vlad Miloushev, President and CEO, 3Tera. "Now, AppLogic users can take advantage of ENKI's proven experience in all aspects of data center design and operations, including business continuity, backup strategies, application design, security, deployment, performance optimization and monitoring, all without owning an enterprise data center. These are skills that Web 2.0 and SaaS companies need but often do not have easily available. "
"We started as a 3Tera customer and got really excited when we discovered how utility computing enables small companies to compete in larger markets," said ENKI CEO David Durkee. "In my previous experience as CIO of NetSuite.com I designed and managed multiple data centers and I wanted to find a technology that allows creation of highly reliable and easily scalable infrastructure without high costs, large headcount, or long implementation times. In 3Tera we found a partner that not only understands and supports that vision, but has the technology and technical capability to deliver on it."
Jordi Miro Bruix, CTO of Mixsic.com commented: "We have been using grid services for sometime now, but we're not grid experts. Working with ENKI allowed us to make better use of utility computing, and quickly create new applications that have had great benefit. We are more than happy with the results and I would recommend ENKI to anyone."
Customers using the AppLogic solution may take advantage of ENKI services immediately. For more details about ENKI's support for 3Tera's technology, please visit http://www.enkiconsulting.net/grid.
