August 10, 2007; 01:53 AM

NeXplore Corporation (OTC: NXPC), announced that it has chosen Layered Technologies, Inc., the leading provider of next generation, self-managed utility computing and hosting solutions, to host NeXplore Search, an innovative search destination slated for launch during Q3 2007.

NeXplore will utilize The Grid Layer hosting solution from Layered Technologies, in combination with 3Tera Inc.’s virtualization software AppLogic. The bundled solution provides NeXplore with a virtual private data center for efficiently and cost-effectively operating and managing NeXplore Search, as well as future NeXplore Web 2.0 products and destinations.

“This comprehensive and robust utility computing solution completely eliminates the cost and complexity associated with traditional infrastructure—datacenter co-location, private racks and managed hosting services, etc.,” said Dion Hinchliffe, chief technology officer for NeXplore Corporation “We needed a hosting and application management system that could scale quickly and easily and, most importantly, would ensure optimal performance. The Grid Layer delivers on all of these requirements.”

“Web 2.0 companies on the cutting edge need to get their products quickly to market, and the ability to scale rapidly is vital,” said Todd Abrams, president and COO of Layered Technologies. “In the past, each new product or product enhancement required a steep investment in terms of time and money. With The Grid Layer, fast growing Web 2.0 companies such as NeXplore can leverage cost-effective resources from commodity hosting providers, while maintaining complete control of their applications—including visual operation, scaling and on-demand resource provisioning.”
