Controlled with just a browser, the VPDC comprises of 443 CPUs, 920GB RAM and 47 terabytes of storage using Intel platforms coupled with 3tera's Applogic software. The VPDC is a cost-effective alternative for enterprises considering building out new facilities or leasing colocation space.

By partnering with Layered Technologies, companies can achieve ROI quickly via reduced capital investment, total cost of ownership, labor reduction, training and floor space. Layered Technologies can have a company up and running in days versus months. Recent benchmarking results show that the VPDC can easily scale from 10 servers to more than 100 servers without significant performance issues.

"Our testing results make it clear to enterprise customers that they don't have to, or need to, invest in a datacenter full of hard steel technologies," says Jeremy Suo-Anttila, CTO of Layered Technologies. "With the VPDC, users get complete control of their own private grid. Using our visual interface, they set up and assemble disposable virtual infrastructure, including firewalls, load balancers, Web servers, database servers, NAS boxes, visually, by pointing and clicking. Users can also add more resources to their grid at any time."
