Dedicated ServersRedundancy Simplified
The On-Demand public cloud service (powered by AppLogic™) enables utility computing by building applications that are completely self-contained and fully scalable. The exact quantity of resources assigned to each instance of the application is entirely dependent on the users’ needs at any given time. The On-Demand cloud service gives the end user the unique ability to scale in any direction on-the-fly based on their specific needs at the time.
What does this mean? You can purchase a small (1/2 Core, 2.4 GB RAM) development server for a few months and seamlessly scale that into a large (8 Core, 24 GB RAM) production server at the click of a button when your traffic exceeds a certain level. Good luck accomplishing that with a dedicated server! You have complete control.

Note that there are NO SETUP FEES – just a single fixed monthly cost, which will simply be prorated up or down if you need to change your Cloud Server size at any point during the month.
How is this possible?
Your Cloud Server is actually located on a large, robust cluster in our San Diego datacenter, utilizing the power of 3Tera’s® AppLogic™ operating system. Read more about AppLogic™ and its unique abilities here.
Is my data safe? What if my “node” goes down?
Your storage volume is automatically mirrored on at least two nodes in the grid at all times. It’s an automatic RAID-1 setup with no configuration or hassle on your part! If your server crashes, AppLogic will automatically restart it on another node, so any downtime is absolutely minimal.
* Whoa! That’s a lot of Bandwidth!
Unlike a traditional server, this bandwidth is NOT just for data traffic between your application and the public! Since your hard drives are virtualized, network bandwidth is also used for all disk I/O. The limiting is performed in real time, so if the limit is reached, your application may simply slow down (especially if you are working with large files), but it will not stop working.
What can I run on my cloud server?
Each On-Demand Cloud Server is a full-fledged dedicated server, so you can install any software you need, just like with a regular server. CentOS 5.3 is currently the only available Operating System, but a wide variety of Windows and additional Linux builds will be available very soon!
Cool… I want to try one!
There’s no contract, and NO risk!
