We’re in the Cloud

We’re pleased to announce that Auctions a la Carte is now powered by the Amazon S3 cloud. What does that mean for you? It means that our auction services have become elastic and can stretch to accommodate large amounts of activity. So in the closing hours or minutes, during the inevitable flurry of last-minute bids and bidders, your auction will have plenty of power and maintain optimum performance.
