Agathon Group - "The Good Stuff"

Cloud Cafe Podcast on 3Tera

by Alan Ritari on September 23, 2008 6:31 PM.

Cloud Cafe interviews 3Tera about AppLogic (the software powering Agathon Group’s grid service) in this fascinating exploration of cloud computing and Applogic’s particular take on it.. The conversation gets pretty deep when they’re discussing possibilities of open interfaces between cloud vendors, but stick with it. For me, the most interesting material started about halfway through when they talked about the tremendous cost savings clouds can provide for organizations of all sizes and shapes.

The podcast is actually a couple months old, but everything discussed is as timely as ever^*. Listen for yourself: Cloud Cafe #4: 3Tera

^*One change from the podcast is that Silkfair, mentioned in the interview, is now running on an Agathon Group “private cloud.” Moving the app from its old home to Agathon Group was really as easy as they make it sound in the podcast.

The Dip

I like Seth Godin, I really do. He has a knack for restating common sense ideas in a way that teases out why they are so important. The ideas become memes and the memes shape our thinking.

Agathon Group, International

by Peter Green on September 3, 2008 4:09 PM.

We are excited to announce that Agathon Group is going global! Not “global” in the sense of “the ends of the earth”; rather, we are establishing our presence in data centers in two international locations: Vancouver and Toronto. Both data facilities are world-class and include every certification you can think of: SAS 70 Type II, CICA 5970, PCI, etc. That means you can now have a private grid in a data facility normally reserved for banks, government agencies and medical organizations.

This also marks our first foray into a data center east of the Mississippi. Much like our employees (that span six time zones!) you can now host your data with us all across North America.

Space in our Canada data centers will become available in late September 2008 and should go pretty fast! So drop us an email (or fill out our contact form) and let us show you how Agathon Group (International!) can help your organization in the U.S., Canada, and beyond.
