INVEN Platform’s Global Launch and Scalability: A Case Study of Harnessing AWS Services for Rapid Expansion

Customer StoryInsightsNews

INVEN through Bespin Global

“By successfully moving to the cloud, we were able to lay the foundation for IT infrastructure for global services.”

Inven is Korea’s largest game webzine and community. It is Korea’s No.1 game media that produces various game leagues and programs through Internet broadcasting stations, with 1.4 million visitors (UV) per day, 1st place in game information, and 80% of the game webzine market share.

The Situation

In the recent rapidly changing game market, Inven also started a global business to expand globally. Although an on-premise data center was operated in Korea, problems with availability and scalability arose for service in New York, the North American base. When expanding to an on-premise system, large-scale resources and funds had to be invested from the stage of marketability verification, so the risk that had to be taken was high. In the end, Inven considered adopting AWS.

To the Cloud

Prior to adopting the AWS Cloud, Inven selected Bespin Global as a global deployment partner. Since it was necessary to build a system that could provide the same service as in Korea by connecting the on-premise data center in Korea and the AWS Virginia region, high technical competence was required.

Inven was particularly concerned that frequent failures occurring in the domestic on-premise environment would affect global services, and requested Bespin Global to support operational services.

Bespin Global prepared for cloud construction and migration according to Inven’s request, and performed stable migration based on global migration experience. Since then, we have been providing end-to-end, from system construction with security in mind, to cost management through BSP metering service.

Benefit

Successful global service launch Inven was able to complete the migration without affecting the existing system through Bespin Global’s professional consulting/migration service.

Establishing a stable environment with backup and system redundancy We were able to configure a well-secured system, such as backup and system redundancy, in a configuration that complies with the AWS security advisory policy.

Infrastructure cost and overall TCO reduction After migrating to AWS, we were able to reduce our cost burden and overall TCO by paying only monthly usage without hardware maintenance costs.
