Useful Technology Leverages Amazon Web Services

January 25, 2007; 07:26 AM
Useful Technology™ Corporation, an emerging next generation technology company dedicated to creating new paths and opportunities for information exchange and makers of the Linxter™ software suite, announced today that the company will use Amazon Web Services to create flexible solutions for its new Linxter™ ultra-secure communications platform. Amazon Web Services (http://aws.amazon.com), which was the subject of a recent cover story in BusinessWeek, is an affordable, powerful solution to other young technology companies.

Useful Technology™ will be using the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), and other offerings from Amazon Web Services to cost-effectively manage its new software package.

“Virtualized computing is an integral part of our operating strategy,” said CEO Jason Milgram. “Amazon’s Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3 services enable quick and massive scaling of the Linxter™ platform.”

By using Amazon Web Services, Useful Technology™ will reduce server, storage and bandwidth costs by twenty percent. Using Amazon Web Services will allow Useful Technology to streamline the delivery of the Linxter™ client as well as its content.

“We’re thrilled to see such an innovative and bright company as Useful Technology taking advantage of our web services,” said Steve Rabuchin, Director of Developer Relations for Amazon Web Services. “We will continue to enhance our existing web services and expose new ones that help Useful Technology and other inventors bypass the undifferentiated, back-end technology muck so that they can focus on building differentiated products for their customers.”

Linxter™ is an ultra-secure communications platform with five Rich Feature Applications integrated through Service Oriented Architecture. The first public beta version of Linxter™ will be released mid-February 2007. The program will be free and available for download at http://www.linxter.com.
