Case Study: Atlassian achieves rapid AWS SaaS migration and 95% faster cluster deployment with Pulse Secure vTM

Pulse Secure Virtual Application Delivery Controller helps Atlassian deliver innovative SaaS solutions to streamline collaboration

Atlassian, a global leader in collaboration and development tools, needed to migrate most of its SaaS platform from managed data centres to Amazon Web Services. The move required preserving advanced application traffic management, troubleshooting and performance capabilities that AWS alone did not provide, while reducing management complexity and supporting rapid global growth.

Atlassian deployed Pulse Secure Virtual Traffic Manager and Pulse Secure Services Director on AWS to provide load balancing, TrafficScript-based live tracing, Terraform integration, and flexible capacity sharing. The solution delivered advanced bandwidth and request-rate shaping, improved troubleshooting with Zipkin tracing, cost-efficient scaling, and the ability to handle more than 60,000 dynamic requests per second — cutting cluster deployment time by about 95% and improving overall application performance and user satisfaction.
