Press Release

Hamburg, Germany—January 14, 2010 — ScaleUp Technologies, the European leader in cloud enabling solutions for full data centers, announced today that Christian Hacker, a lead developer from the ScaleUp team, is the first person in Europe to be certified under the Certified Cloud Operator program, recently introduced by 3Tera®, Inc.

This is yet another first for Hamburg-based ScaleUp Technologies, after launching the first Cloud Solution in Germany in late 2009 and being the first in Europe to demonstrate use of IPv6 in the cloud, along with US partners 3Tera and Cari.net.

"After 11 years growing our traditional data center operation, in Germany, we are now taking a leadership role in cloud computing, both in Germany and greater mainland Europe," said Gihan Behrmann, CEO, ScaleUp Technologies. "We see it as our responsibility to demonstrate this revolutionary shift in IT operations as safe, secure and economically advantageous solution for the European enterprise. Having the first Certified Cloud Operator in Europe is just another example of that commitment."

3Tera's Certified Cloud Operator program is targeted toward service providers, enterprises operations professionals and systems integrators, responsible for the deployment and operation of cloud services. The program covers the process of installing, configuring and maintaining the computing fabric used for building cloud computing services. Emphasis is placed on service configuration, ensuring high availability and instant failover of cloud installations, provisioning of customers and configuration of virtual private data centers.

The 3Tera cloud computing certification is awarded upon successful completion of online testing based on 3-day extensive training and coursework.

Christian Hacker, who joined ScaleUp Technologies team in April of 2009, bringing an impressive 10-year background as a technology leader commented: "Although the certification exam definitely requires deep knowledge and experience, it wasn't hard for me to complete it successfully. In my daily work with AppLogic I had already experienced about 90 percent of the cases and operation steps that we went trough during the training. The 3-day boot camp was very well developed with many practical examples and step-by-step guides that a cloud operator like myself can implement immediately."

Hacker went on to say: "Working with AppLogic is just great! You visually create the infrastructure while developing the project itself. Once configuring the applications servers you can deploy, run and scale any web applications in no time. It's not only fast and cost effective, it's also fun."
