A Amazon CloudSearch Case Study
RoZetta Technology, a provider of big-data storage, management, and analytics for financial services, struggled with a large on‑premises markets database running more than 1,000 cores and petabytes of storage. Scaling for peak demand forced expensive hardware purchases that strained power, slowed performance, eroded margins, and required specialist data‑center skills. To meet strict security, sovereignty, and performance needs, RoZetta evaluated cloud options and adopted Amazon CloudSearch alongside other AWS services to gain the elasticity and isolation required.
Using Amazon CloudSearch and AWS technologies (Amazon VPC, EC2, S3, DynamoDB, Redshift, SQS, and CloudFormation), RoZetta moved projects into separate VPCs, automated provisioning, and delivered infrastructure in hours rather than months. The change cut a comparable project’s up‑front capital from about AU$800,000 to an estimated AU$100,000/year operating cost, reduced hardware deployment time from 8–12 weeks to hours/weeks, enabled near‑zero downtime and live upgrades, and improved customer satisfaction while lowering operating costs. Amazon CloudSearch and the AWS stack provided the scalable, cost‑effective platform that delivered these results.
