The stability and performance of AWS has delivered a range of benefits to Mirae Asset Global Investments, including reducing operating costs by more than half. The business has also eliminated the need to invest capital in replacing the aging and increasingly unstable servers running its websites.

By using AWS, Mirae Asset Global Investments overcame prospective clients’ doubts around website availability as its websites are now operating in an infrastructure that has remained available nearly 100 percent of the time. Negligible network latency is also contributing to fast website response times that deliver a high quality experience to users. The business has also been able to release updates and enhancements to its websites about 300 percent faster compared to running in a physical infrastructure in a collocated data center. The business is considering extending its use of AWS to mission-critical workloads such as risk management analysis, intranet system, and high-performance computing at a large scale. Mirae Asset Global Investments is focused on being a growing global investment company with a highly developed infrastructure system in AWS.

“Overall we are extremely happy with AWS—it has paved the way for us to further improve our efficiency,” says Choi. “We are in the process of moving more systems onto AWS.”
