KLEKSI AWS

Security and scalability in the cloud

Protecting your heritage is our priority. That’s why we chose Amazon Web Services (AWS), the most reliable and advanced cloud platform in the world. Organizations like Formula 1, Netflix, and Rabobank trust AWS, and for good reason. AWS offers unmatched reliability, flexibility, and security.

Maximum performance and security.

Always available, always protected
Always available, always protected

With AWS, server failures are a thing of the past. Load balancing automatically distributes traffic across multiple servers. High availability ensures that your data is always accessible. AWS also makes multiple backups of your data, stored at at least three physical locations, with a durability of 99.999999999%.

Redundancy and backups
Redundancy and backups

We combine redundancy (active copies of servers) with robust backup solutions. Should a failure ever occur, another server will immediately take over the functionality, without interruption. This offers you peace of mind and certainty.

Endless scalability
