Streamlining the Produce Industry with the Cloud: An AWS Migration Case Study on Catania Worldwide
Case Study in Brief
Catania Worldwide is a vertically integrated, family-run produce company that was founded in 1929 by Michael Leonard Catania. Over the years, it has grown into a major player in the produce industry, specializing in growing, picking, packing, and distributing fresh fruit, including figs, kiwi, persimmons, and grapes.
The company operates across multiple regions, with production facilities in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada.

Their unique approach allows them to provide high-quality, year-round produce and customized packaging solutions for customers across North America
Solutions Overview
RedNight took the lead in coordinating and building a cloned Proof of Concept environment on AWS. After thorough testing and client approval, we executed a seamless cut-over to the final production environment. This included the migration of all servers and desktops, ensuring that end-users could continue working without interruption.
Post-migration, RedNight became Catania Worldwide’s Managed Service Provider (MSP), deploying a suite of MSP tools for:
- Backup
- 24/7 Monitoring
- Antivirus
- Spam protection
- Patching
Results and Benefits
How AWS Technologies Enabled Success:
AWS technologies, specifically Amazon Workspaces running the PCoIP protocol, were integral to the success of this project. The client rolled out Zero Clients across their operations to support remote workers while minimizing infrastructure support requirements. This solution enabled:
- Improved availability and resiliency for critical operations.
- The ability for employees to work from anywhere, with minimal downtime or disruption.
- Streamlined infrastructure, reducing the need for on-site IT resources.
The Takeaway
Catania Worldwide has 24X7 operations between growing, picking, packing, shipping operations. By enabling them through Amazon Web Services and Amazon Workspaces RedNight was able to improve their availability, resiliency and ability to work from anywhere. Catania Worldwide can now dynamically place people where they are needed and get them online and working quickly.
