News Corp
August 2014
News Corp were having throughput and performance issues in their high volume, mission critical AWS infrastructure and were hitting capacity limits on a daily basis.
Cloudten was commissioned to perform an in depth analysis of their environment and provide tangible recommends to improve performance.
Our client was a large and established AWS user that utilised a number of auto-scaling services and DevOps tools to automate builds and deployments.
This particular engagement involved investigations around service degradation related to sudden traffic spikes and scaling inefficiencies.
Cloudten successfully determined a number of the infrastructure bottlenecks and provided coherent and practical recommendations that were not only able to address the core issues, but drastically improve both the performance and the security of the existing model.
As well as possessing in-depth knowledge of core AWS services, our consultants’ low level experience with reverse proxy and application server technologies proved invaluable in provided and end to end solution.
