On Monday, a major disruption to Amazon Web Services (AWS) sent shockwaves across the globe. From retailers and banks to logistics and government services — countless organisations were forced offline. It was a stark reminder of just how dependent many businesses are on third-party cloud platforms.

But at iLockerz, something remarkable happened.

Nothing.

Our customers experienced no downtime. No disconnection. No drama.

Because iLockerz systems don’t rely on the cloud to function.

🚀 Built for Reliability in Every Scenario

While others scrambled to recover lost access and restore services, iLockerz smart locker systems continued operating as normal — issuing, tracking, and managing equipment without interruption.

That’s because every iLockerz unit is designed with resilience at its core. Each system is powered by its own onboard mini PC, running a dedicated local Operating System. This intelligent edge computing model means our customers are never reliant on a constant cloud connection — and never at the mercy of third-party server outages.

🔒 Why This Matters to Our Customers

For businesses in emergency services, manufacturing, engineering, or education, system reliability isn’t optional — it’s mission-critical.

We work with customers who manage:

Police radios and response kits
High-value engineering tools
Sensitive IT devices and laptops
Healthcare and lab equipment
And more

They trust iLockerz to maintain access, accountability, and asset visibility — 24/7. Even during global cloud outages. Even when Amazon goes dark.

✅ “No Downtime” — Now Proven

At iLockerz, we’ve always promoted our platform as being ultra-reliable. But moments like this one prove it.

Where others failed, iLockerz succeeded — and we didn’t have to lift a finger to fix anything.

Our infrastructure didn’t need rebooting. Our uptime didn’t need restoring. Because it never went offline in the first place.

🧠 Smart by Design. Resilient by Nature.

This isn’t just good luck — it’s smart design.

From day one, we’ve engineered iLockerz systems to deliver independence, continuity, and control. By giving our customers a decentralised, locally powered solution, we eliminate the weak points that many centralised, cloud-only platforms suffer from.
