Case Study: Georgia IT, Inc. achieves 4-5x cloud cost reduction and 3-4x performance boost with CoreSite

Georgia IT reduces cloud costs and bolsters performance exponentially for prominent customer with CoreSite colocation and native AWS onramp

Georgia IT, a managed IT services provider, was engaged to manage a high‑growth customer that operated an all‑cloud AWS environment moving ~150 TB/day and facing exorbitant egress fees and performance issues. To meet the customer’s cost and performance expectations, Georgia IT needed a colocation partner with secure, high‑speed native access to AWS.

Georgia IT deployed a private cage at CoreSite’s Reston (VA2) facility and used CoreSite’s native AWS Direct Connect/fiber cross‑connect to repatriate workloads from AWS. The move eliminated egress fees and dark‑fiber inefficiencies, cutting cloud costs 4–5x, slashing monthly port costs from $3,000 to $270, and improving cloud performance and reliability by roughly 3–4x while opening new growth and interconnection opportunities.
