Live Nation’s Ticketmaster division will use AWS to scale with
the rapid growth in its global ticketing business, which currently
receives 80 million visits per month – 60 percent from mobile
devices – and results in 530 million ticket transactions per year.
The Ticketmaster websites will be migrated to AWS and will use AWS
Lambda, Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS), Amazon Aurora,
and Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) to simplify management of
large-scale databases and for storage of logs and static content.
Additionally, by moving Corporate IT to AWS, Live Nation will
reduce costs and gain the flexibility to focus on more strategic
initiatives. Live Nation Corporate IT will leverage Amazon S3 for
storage of data for disaster recovery, Amazon WorkSpaces for fully
managed desktop computing services, and Amazon Elastic Compute
Cloud (EC2) and Amazon Redshift for application hosting
workloads.
“We have been working closely with the AWS team, and we are
impressed with the superior security, performance, and reliability
of their products,” said David Huckabay, CIO, Live Nation. “We look
forward to the positive impact that going all-in on the AWS Cloud
will have on our IT infrastructure across our key business
divisions.”
“Increasingly, enterprises around the world are deploying their
critical workloads on AWS and going all-in so they can refocus on
serving their customers best,” said Mike Clayville, Vice President,
Worldwide Commercial Sales at AWS. “We’re truly excited for Live
Nation’s adoption of AWS, which will allow them to quickly and
easily scale, reduce costs, improve security, and increase agility
for even their most critical workloads.”
