Coca-Cola North America
Coca Cola is a multinational beverage company offering more than
500 brands
across
more than
200 countries
, including Coca-Cola, Costa coffee, and Zico coconut water.
Following one of its major digital marketing campaigns in 2013, during Super Bowl 47, Coca Cola company
experienced unanticipated traffic
to its website causing its web pages to stall.
The company's
servers were also overwhelmed
, prompting it to momentarily install new ones, which, however, did not abate the situation.
Needing a more efficient, reliable, and cost-effective solution to sustaining website traffic spikes, the company contracted the services of
2nd Watch,
an information technology and services company with AWS Premier and Microsoft Azure Gold partnership that offers professional and managed services in the public cloud for enterprise workloads.
2nd Watch migrated the company's consumer-facing sites in North America to AWS within two months, additionally providing management services, which helped save Coca Cola's
40%
operational cost and enabled them sustain large-scale digital marketing campaigns and user experiences.
The company also achieved an
80%
reduction in help desk tickets with its migration and a new DevOps model, allowing it to both auto-scale and achieve full single-site isolation of its environment.
