PRLog -- SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – ELC Technologies (www.elctech.com)
, developers of the hottest interactive web applications, has been named one of the inaugural system integrators to join the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Solution Providers Program.
ELC Technologies’
team is experts in creating cloud computing web properties. Using the latest Ruby on Rails and agile software development techniques, ELC’s practices shorten time-to-launch and provide out-of-the-box scalability for new web applications. Deploying applications using AWS greatly reduces capital costs making new ventures more accessible, and enables elastic scaling for when ventures succeed. In fact, ELC has worked with the largest platform clients to harness AWS to test new commercial applications and scale successful brand websites.
ELC has extensive experience in developing cloud computing applications. "In 2007, the company helped establish what was later founded as RightScale (www.rightscale.com)
, now a leading cloud computing company that provides reusable and automated best practices for managing deployments in the cloud. Michael Crandell, RightScale’s CEO says, “Besides being early contributors to our own business, ELC was instrumental in some of our early platform sales. We continue to work with their team to identify and support key customer requirements."
This year ELC helped found another AWS cloud based application, RightSignature (www.rightsignature.com)
, which benefits from Amazon Web Service’s stringent security procedures as well as the ability to scale on demand. “We’ve been able to outmaneuver legacy products in large part due to Amazon's unrivaled security and scalability, coupled with the design guidance and implementation services ELC provides,” says Daryl Bernstein, RightSignature’
s CEO, “Most recently our Amazon-based data processing infrastructure has been able to handle large bursts of usage generated by our popular iPhone application.”
ELC Technologies is a member of Amazon Web Service’s European Customer Advisory board and frequently represents the system integrator perspective at events in the United States and European Union.
“AWS gives us a real technological advantage for deploying and testing new web solutions, and being an inaugural member of the AWS Solution Providers Program gives us an additional advantage by making us part of Amazon’s partner network,” said Betsy Wise, Director of Operations, for ELC Technologies. “As an AWS Solution Provider, we can give our customers immediate access to cloud computing power, almost limitless data storage, and other applications services. We have found AWS to be the ideal platform to host scalable Rails applications for both our clients' and our own successful ventures.”
ELC Technologies has been using agile software development and the Ruby on Rails open source web framework to shorten development time for new applications, creating a malleable, conceptual development framework that can quickly adapt and evolve through the lifecycle of a project. By deploying new Rails-built applications using AWS, ELC’s clients can deploy quickly and inexpensively, without using their own infrastructure or hardware. ELC clients such as Snapizzi (www.snapizzi.com)
and Tempobrain (www.tempobrain.com)
use Amazon Web Services to launch and refine new web products at a fraction of time and effort of traditional infrastructure approaches.
