About the Client

PartyLite is a top global candle eCommerce company in 21 countries. PartyLite’s web applications must meet strict requirements for uptime, management functionality, and PCI compliance that their existing hosting service provider simply could not meet. With Logicworks’ support, PartyLite migrated to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and now delivers their e-commerce application in compliance with PCI regulations without sacrificing global scalability and high-availability.

Pain Points

Previous MSP suddenly ceased operations, leaving internal IT staff to handle designing, implementation, and monitoring of AWS environment
Desire to reduce downtime associated with sudden spikes in traffic at the end of each month and during the holiday shopping season
Need to reduce latency associated with the distance between the production environment located in Northern Virginia and endusers located primarily in Europe
Maintain PCI-DSS compliance

Solution

AWS Migration Service: Completed migration from existing hosting provider to AWS in just 30 days
Managed AWS Service: 24x7x365 engineering support for monitoring, maintenance, alerts, and engineering reviews
Implemented PCI best practices and security tools to keep AWS environment secure and compliant
Eliminated single points of failure by distributing right-sized resources across availability zones, while implementing advanced DevOps and Auto Scaling to increase application availability

Results

Through Logicworks’ expertise in building and managing PCI compliant AWS infrastructure, PartyLite delivers its eCommerce application to tens of thousands of independent consultants who use the online consultant and customer portal to log sales and place orders. They migrated in 30 days and have an environment that exceeds PCI compliance regulations, while remaining scalable and highly available during predictable and unpredictable spikes in traffic. With Logicworks’ management, the PartyLite team can focus on bettering the business and serving end-users without interruption, ultimately driving profits and cutting IT costs.
