Case Study: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission achieves zero-outage website migration with Acquia Cloud Platform

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission migrates 40,000 pages to Acquia with zero outages

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission needed to modernize its large, high-stakes public website, NRC.gov, which contained 40,000 pages and 53,000 PDF files. Their challenge was to migrate this site to a modern, open-source platform with zero downtime, continuous FedRAMP compliance, and stronger accessibility, all while supporting over 125 authenticated users. Acquia provided its FedRAMP-authorized Acquia Cloud Platform to host the new Drupal site.

Acquia's solution enabled a seamless migration with zero production outages and every public URL preserved. The results included significant cost savings from vendor consolidation, an upgrade to Drupal 11 with no service disruption, and a stronger, more accessible website. Acquia's proven platform and partnership with the implementation team ensured the project was a complete success.
