Lotaris SA announced today that it is now utilizing the power of the cloud computing infrastructure from Amazon as part of its global Lotaris Platform solution, to distribute client applications directly to end-user mobile devices globally with significant performance improvements.

Amazon’s extensive infrastructure reduces latencies and provides high data transfer speeds wherever it is required by the Lotaris business globally. The Lotaris Vice President of Technology, Mr. David Keast, said that recent tests in Brazil showed a 75 % improvement in performance using the Amazon CloudfrontTM service.

Another huge benefit is the ability of the Lotaris Platform to provide consistent performance in delivering services to end-users, regardless of the peak’s in demand that Lotaris experiences. According to Lotaris Chief Scientist, Dr. Olivier Liechti, the processing power, bandwidth and other resources of Amazon’s massive infrastructure easily scale to cope with simultaneous demands at multiple mobile operators.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has been proving companies of all sizes with an infrastructure web services platform in the cloud since early 2006. Lotaris takes advantage of Amazon.com’s global computing infrastructure, that is the backbone of Amazon.com’s $ 15 billion retail business and transactional enterprise whose scalable, reliable, and secure distributed computing infrastructure has been honed for over 13 years.

« Amazon has helped Lotaris bring its business and services closer to its global customer base », concluded Mr. Robert Tibbs, Lotaris CEO.
