Cleveland State University Migrates 400+ Subsites to Drupal 10 with Pantheon, Mediacurrent, and IgniteCMS
Cleveland State University faced aging Drupal 7 sites and rising security concerns by 2023. Pantheon provided hosting infrastructure, while Mediacurrent led the Drupal 7 to 10 migration. IgniteCMS empowered editors with drag-and-drop page building and brand governance.
Pantheon’s migration wizard and Upstream enabled bulk Drupal transitions across 400+ subsites. IgniteCMS balanced decentralization and governance with reusable components. The report omits specific performance metrics and cost savings benchmarks.
A bot attack in early 2025 highlighted security vulnerabilities. Pantheon’s advanced CDN and New Relic diagnostics swiftly mitigated the threat. CSU now maintains 14 Pantheon-hosted sites with Multidev workflows. They plan Drupal 11 adoption and enhanced content strategy next.
