Case Study: Condé Nast improves performance and lowers operating costs with 2nd Watch and AWS

Condé Nast - Customer Case Study

Condé Nast wanted to move beyond traditional data centers so it could expand its digital footprint and compete more effectively in the digital market. The company worked with 2nd Watch to support the closure of its primary datacenter, which hosted mission-critical applications, and to migrate more than 300 servers to AWS.

Working with AWS Professional Services, 2nd Watch helped Condé Nast lift and shift its development, test, and production environments into AWS EC2. The migration strategy was built from scratch and completed in an aggressive two-month timeframe, with the new environment set to use more than 360 Amazon EC2 instances, 1,300 Amazon EBS volumes, and roughly 80 TB of data. Condé Nast expected performance to improve by 30 to 40 percent and operating costs to fall by nearly 40 percent.
