3Tera, Inc., the leading innovator of cloud computing technology and utility computing services, announce the introduction of the 3Tera AppStore – the first
marketplace for cloud components where enterprise users, software vendors and datacenter experts can exchange production-ready, scalable and highly available cloud components on a pay-per-use basis.
3Tera’s AppStore is a globally available portal offering enterprise-class, supported software stacks, packaged for use in public, private and hybrid AppLogic® cloud deployments. The AppStore catalog spans all
types of datacenter infrastructure elements and complete applications, from networking components (such as load balancers, firewalls, routers, traffic managers, content switches), server components (such as Web
servers, directory servers, databases, application servers) and storage solutions, as well as application software stacks, management and monitoring tools.
“We’ve been enabling Cloud Computing for the past three years,” said Barry X Lynn , Chairman and CEO, 3Tera, Inc. “With the introduction of 3Tera’s AppStore, we’re enabling a community of
software providers to make their products easily available in the Cloud and accessible on-demand.” Users of the 3Tera AppStore can find pre-configured, ready-to-use
appliances to add to their 3Tera AppLogic catalogs provided by trusted software vendors.
Many are free or offered on a trial basis, while others are offered on a pay-per-use basis. For ISVs, the AppStore provides a way to publish and distribute enterprise-class, production
ready, cloud components and generate revenue every time users run them in public or private clouds powered by AppLogic. Datacenter architects and consultants can package and publish complete application
infrastructures to the AppStore that are ready to run, complete with value-added capabilities such as clustered solutions, high-availability, disaster recovery, on-demand scalability or automated backups and security.
