To accommodate high level of our service to the customers we are constantly watching all new APIs and facilities provided by public Cloud Computing providers. As result our consultants and developers has solid and continuously evolving understanding of Cloud Computing internals and arising trends. Our researchers examining all new APIs and approaches in our test cloud environment in order to find all potential weakness and create the best usage guides.
As by now we already have deployed to the Amazon EC2 Computing Cloud web applications on behalf of our customers and even more applications are in stage of deploying.

This is Java-based web application with classical three tier design. Deploying it into Amazon EC2 Computing Cloud provided our customer with great flexibility in order to meet increasing web application workload without extra costs of buying excessive resources in advance. When application workload meets maximal limits new instances of application servers can be easy instantiated in order to serve requests of customers. After peak workload decline these instances will be automatically switched off in order to optimize costs.
“By 2011, early technology adopters will forgo capital expenditures and instead purchase 40% of their IT infrastructure as a service …. ‘Cloud computing’ will take off, thus untying applications from specific infrastructure.”

Benefits
Accelerated cycles
The cloud computing model provides a faster, more efficient way to develop the new generation of applications and services. Faster development and testing cycles means businesses can accomplish in hours what used to take days, weeks, or months.Increased agility
Cloud computing accommodates change like no other model. For example, Animoto Productions, makers of a mashup tool that creates video from images and music, used cloud computing to scale up from 50 servers to 3,500 in just three days. Cloud computing can also provide a wider selection of more lightweight and agile development tools, simplifying and speeding up the development process.
