The CHALLENGE
An ambitious migration to AWS for greater elasticity and scalability required a network performance management partner to help keep costs down, as well as benchmark performance of post-migration service.

Superior end-user experience and business performance
- ExtraHop data helps IT teams ensure that applications are performing post-migration as well as they were in the datacenter.
The Outcome
Automated, contextual visibility across the service delivery chain, ensuring security and performance.
Cloud spend planning
- "We're moving to AWS because the scale and capacity it affords us. With ExtraHop, we can intelligently and deliberately plan the capacity we need, minimizing our spend. That helps us deliver faster application performance and better end-user experience while keeping our costs down. That's a win-win for our entire business," says the manager.
Performance benchmarking
- ExtraHop proactively monitors and manages infrastructure performance across the entire application stack, and these performance benchmarks are being used as baselines for tracking performance of the same application and infrastructure components in AWS.
Application and dependency mapping
- In order to minimize service and business process disruption during various phases of the migration, the retailer used ExtraHop to provide up-to-the-second mapping of applications and dependencies, and create move groups based on that data.
