Netriplex Brings Utility Computing to the SMB Market
Asheville, NC – August 23, 2007: Can businesses buy computing power the same way they buy their electrical power? They can now through a utility computing service developed by a new Asheville-based datacenter. Netriplex Corporation, an international network of high-security datacenters, announced today that it has completed testing and has begun providing an on-demand computing service that is unique in the industry.
"Utility computing allows companies to tap into the power of a super computer incrementally as their business needs grow, similar to how they buy their electricity, gas and other utilities," says Chief Technology Officer, Jonathan Hoppe. "For several years this high-end technology has been available at significant cost to Fortune 500 companies. What Netriplex has done is to develop a model that makes on-demand computing affordable for small and medium size businesses. One of Netriplex's partners has just signed a contract to put over a million users on Netriplex's new computing grid."
Utility (or Grid) computing is a high-performance and infinitely scalable computer hosting platform. It removes the limitations of traditional dedicated hosting by making available the latest processors, memory, storage—all the components of computing—as you need them and without any down time. New servers can be deployed in minutes rather than days. This architecture is completely fault tolerant through 'hot' fail-over technology that automatically recovers from hardware failure.
