Case Study: Morehead State University achieves resilient, always-on website hosting with eWay Corp on AWS

Morehead State University keeps its website online through a campus cyber event with eWay Corp

Morehead State University faced significant challenges with its legacy website hosting, which lacked scalability, security, and reliable performance. The platform struggled with traffic surges and manual deployments, creating operational risk for the internal IT team. The university partnered with eWay Corp to implement a modern, cloud-first solution using their Cascade Website Hosting service on AWS.

eWay Corp rebuilt the platform on AWS with auto-scaling EC2 instances, CloudFront for content delivery, and WAF protection. This new infrastructure proved its resilience by staying online without interruption during a campus-wide cyber event in 2023. The solution also delivered measurable performance improvements, automated deployments to free up IT resources, and reliable uptime through peak admissions cycles.
