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. CariNet 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 CariNet 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.

*Sample configurations above were priced with 4 servers, a Gigabit Switch and 32 IP’s on a Private VLAN. All CariNet Private Clouds include the AppLogic™ Editor, 3Tera® Control Shell and preconfigured network infrastructure templates, as well as 5 × 1-hour one-on-one training sessions. ** AppLogic™ is essentially RAIDed servers so hard drive storage needs to be twice the usable amount that you will need. You can lose an entire server and your entire cloud will still be available. |

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. 3Tera’s® AppLogic™ grid computing operating system has mastered the art, by removing the science from managing a cluster, and CariNet has partnered with AppLogic™ to bring you the Virtual Private Datacenter.
