Case Study: Georgia Technology Authority achieves big cost savings and zero unplanned downtime with Amazon Web Services

GTA Migrates Portal to the Cloud for Big Savings Using AWS Services and TekStream Support

Georgia Technology Authority (GTA) needed a more cost-conscious way to run its portal because it was spending nearly $300,000 a year on a data center environment. Working with Amazon Web Services and TekStream, GTA moved the portal to the cloud using services such as Amazon EC2, Amazon RDS, Amazon S3, and Amazon CloudFront.

With Amazon Web Services, GTA optimized application sizing, improved scalability, and strengthened security and backup management. The migration cut infrastructure costs by 60–70% and eliminated unplanned downtime, while also improving speed and agility for GTA’s customers.
