Executive Summary
Due to significant growth in Atlassian usage, Watlow's Atlassian Cloud-hosted instance ran up against storage and security limitations. With the help of Cprime's AWS migration experts, Watlow moved to AWS to enjoy greater productivity, scalability, and security.

Overview
The Challenge
Due to significant growth in Atlassian usage, Watlow’s Atlassian Cloud-hosted instance ran up against space and storage limitations. In addition, Atlassian Cloud did not provide encrypted static storage which was required by Watlow’s security requirements.
The Solution
Watlow migrated their Atlassian tool suite to Cprime’s managed hosting service due to space/storage limitations imposed on Atlassian’s cloud-based instances. The migration allowed a more desirable security solution of encrypted static storage (which was not supported by Atlassian at the time).

With Cprime’s Managed Hosting (powered by AWS), Watlow has infrastructure that can scale seamlessly as the business continues to grow.
