Case Study: Fortune 500 Retailing Company achieves cloud cost control and seamless AWS migration with ExtraHop

Fortune 500 Retailer Keeps Cloud Costs in Check with ExtraHop

A Fortune 500 retail company with more than 5,000 stores across two dozen countries and a 400-person IT organization was migrating its global infrastructure to AWS to gain elasticity and scale. The key challenge was ensuring a seamless migration with minimal service disruption while maintaining security, application performance, and accurate capacity planning for massive traffic spikes on peak retail days.

ExtraHop provided automated, contextual visibility across the entire service delivery chain, delivering real-time transaction monitoring, application and dependency mapping, and pre‑/post‑migration performance benchmarking. As a result, the retailer successfully migrated its international datacenters, reduced cloud spend through smarter capacity forecasting, minimized service disruptions during moves, and ensured applications performed at or above their datacenter baselines.
