AWS Case Study: Red Lion Hotels
In 2011, Red Lion began developing hyper-local web and mobile platforms for travelers. Within these platforms, each of the company’s hotels will populate its own online storefront with information unique to that area. Users will then be able to research and book travel destinations based on these regional perspectives.
Red Lion had already started to build the new platforms using the Umbraco content management system, Windows and SQL Server, but was undecided on a hosting environment. The company was dissatisfied with the cost and scalability of its existing co-location facility, so it brought in cloud computing solutions provider 2nd Watch to conduct an analytical evaluation of hosting options in relation to Red Lion’s technical and business goals.
David Barbieri, Red Lion’s SVP and CIO, explains, “Our IT department is very lean, so systems infrastructure issues can easily distract our resources from more value-added strategic work. We are looking for ways to avoid operational infrastructure burdens, as well as their associated capital infrastructure costs. The AWS product set is perfectly aligned with these goals. With AWS and 2nd Watch, we have found a much more cost effective way to keep the lights on for a critical part of our infrastructure while reducing the risk of IT resources getting distracted from our core business strategies.”
