The Global Health Institute (GHI) at the American University of Beirut (AUB) is a regional leader and key partner in addressing global health challenges with a focus on the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. GHI employs an interdisciplinary approach to tackle global health issues and aims to transform the global health dialogue by focusing on contextualized and sustainable solutions that are proportionally dependent on local and regional capacity.
Scalability and Content Delivery
As an institution focused on tackling global health challenges, AUB GHI sought a resilient and scalable solution. Their objective was to improve content delivery speed, enable automatic scalability, and ensure redundancy across various applications and workloads. Originally hosted on-premises, AUB GHI's applications and workloads posed significant challenges. These included suboptimal performance affecting user experience, limited availability for a global user base, and constraints in scalability and elasticity to meet fluctuating demand. Failure to address these challenges could potentially undermine GHI’s efficiency in delivering services and achieving its objectives.
Secure and Scalable
Digico Solutions, equipped with a proficient team of certified Solutions Architects and DevOps Engineers, introduced an extensive hosting solution tailored for AUB GHI on AWS.
In collaboration with the GHI team, Digico executed a smooth migration of three workloads from on-premises to AWS. Leveraging a suite of AWS services, including AWS Fargate, Route 53, AWS Load Balancer, AWS CloudFront, Aurora Serverless, and others.
Automated deployment orchestration was achieved through CI/CD pipelines, utilizing key AWS services such as AWS CodeBuild, AWS CodeDeploy, and AWS CodePipeline. This approach not only improved efficiency but also ensured a consistent and reliable deployment process. Additionally, Digico Solutions utilized CloudFormation for infrastructure as code, creating modular components to facilitate a seamless transition for each solution element.
