Lecere Corporation (Pink Sheets:LCRE), a Software-as-a-Service development company, today announced that it was able to successfully deliver services to clients during the recent Amazon Web Services (aws.amazon.com) outage. On April 21st at 1:41 AM PDT Amazon suffered a major disruption in its East Coast (EC2) service, which took down major websites such as Reddit, Foursquare, Hootsuite, and many more. Lecere's FIRMS, also hosted on EC2, was initially taken down by the disruption of service. However, while some other sites were experiencing continued outages, Lecere's engineering staff diverted its cloud-based system to AWS's west coast service, and thus was able to get FIRMS back online while delivering a mission critical app to one of its clients.
"Our engineering and support staff performed superbly during this crisis. They acted quickly and professionally to get our systems back online. This proves that the FIRMS infrastructure is not only reliable, but mobile in the face of Internet outages. We've worked tirelessly at making our systems able to withstand this type of outage, and now we have proven that our methodology is sound," stated Jim Morris, President and CEO of Lecere Corporation.
