Case Study: D‑Link reduces IT costs by 50% and accelerates global deployment with Amazon Web Services

D-Link - Customer Case Study

D‑Link, a global designer and manufacturer of networking products, built the mydlink Cloud Services portal to let customers view, control, and share networked devices and receive alerts from IP cameras. To deliver low latency worldwide and handle usage peaks without heavy upfront investment or paying for idle capacity, the company needed a globally distributed, scalable infrastructure across the United States, Europe, and Asia.

D‑Link deployed the portal on AWS—using Amazon EC2 (Reserved Instances) to reduce IT costs by about 50%, Amazon SES for notifications, and Amazon RDS to offload database administration. By replicating a US deployment image to AWS Regions in Asia and Europe, the company improved capacity utilization and accelerated service delivery by up to 30%; the migration took six weeks and let the team focus on software rather than hardware.
