How time flies when you’re slaving away in a startup

Although it seems like only yesterday, it’s now been two full years since the first users logged in on AppLogic grids during our private beta. It seems hard to believe, but at the time we launched no one had uttered the word grid in relation to hosting, utility computing was considered dead, clouds meant rain, and Amazon was a book retailer.

Along the way AppLogic has picked up many new capabilities as well; metering, built-in monitoring, 64 bit support, dynamic appliances, and hosting partners on three continents. Plus, the largest individual grid grew to more than 450 cpu cores, 1TB of RAM, and 50TB of storage.

It’s been a great two years and I’m happy to report that thanks to the creativity of our users there’s much, much more to come this year.
