The Approach
A combined team of architects and engineers from Kablamo, AWS and Seven West Media worked together to plan and migrate the organisation to a vastly improved AWS environment.
Within eight weeks, New Idea and Home Beautiful were cutover to run live on AWS.
The Results
The new AWS platform withheld a major DDoS attack (500% spike in traffic) just days after cutting over. Audience traffic expanded by 24%, and there are no issues when visitor numbers hit over 200,000 a day.
Looking Forward
With almost zero downtime and no effect on user experience, Seven West Media now avoids revenue losses and damage to their reputation with readers and advertisers. The digital team now has more time and knowledge to research, evaluate and strategise around new technologies and digital products.
