Specifically, DedicatedNOW’s Virtual Cluster will be built via the AppLogic utility computing platform developed by 3Tera.

DedicatedNOW says its own Virtual Cluster hosting service will allow small businesses to size their services without difficulty, where they would be not capable to build fully managed clusters themselves.

In a market where hosts are working to establish the exact marketing notions and product descriptions around services like virtualization and grid-based offerings, DedicatedNOW appears to be the only company using the term “Virtual Clustered Hosting” .

DedicatedNOW’s Virtual Cluster will be offered April 1, starting at $299 per month. More specific information about the offering is available at the company’s website.
