Atlantic Dominion Solutions (ADS) - Atlantic Dominion Solutions, a premier innovator in Ruby on Rails development -today announced a partnership with RightScale, providers of a next-generation platform for enabling and managing scalable web applications on Amazon Web Services (AWS). The integration of RightScale's technology extends an existing advantage for ADS in creating the most powerful and scalable Rails-based applications.

ADS has been diving into Amazon Web Services in a big way, says the company's Project Director, Robert Dempsey. But with the enhanced scalability and ease-of-use RightScale provides, ADS sees the partnership as a major advancement in its mission to provide clients with stellar web applications.

"We've been working with AWS for quite awhile now, and the results for our clients have been tremendous," said Dempsey. "Adding the RightScale platform to manage these services truly upgrades our applications and enriches our expertise in Rails development with AWS. It's really a leap forward."

RightScale offers a wide variety of tools to save developers and end-users time by optimizing AWS management. The firm's flagship tool - the RightScale Dashboard - provides a point-and-click interface that aggregates all AWS activities for convenient monitoring and maintenance. In addition, RightGrid allows developers to scale servers automatically according to usage load, and the RightImage library offers predesigned templates for common software stacks.

RightScale's CEO, Michael Crandell, hailed the partnership as a catalyst for growth in Rails development. "ADS is on the forefront of integrating Amazon Web Services into their applications. The simplicity and convenience RightScale brings to scaling and managing these services will help ADS take its applications to another level."

Both companies, recognized as thought leaders in their respective domains, emphasize that there is no endpoint with innovation. The advancement this partnership signifies, Dempsey says, will be the model for future collaborations:

"When it comes to looking for new ways to create better, more scalable, more efficient web applications, we will never stop."
