The Challenge
A company providing hosting for municipal websites was quickly outgrowing its fragmented, outdated server infrastructure.
With more than 100 virtual servers spread across inefficient environments, costs and workloads were rising fast. Maintenance was complex, performance was inconsistent, and scaling required additional hardware and staff time.
They needed a scalable, cost-conscious solution that could expand capacity without driving up labor or hardware expenses.
Our Solution
As their Managed Intelligence Provider (MIP), we implemented a comprehensive server consolidation strategy.
Nearly 100 virtual servers were streamlined into just eight optimized environments, grouped by performance needs. Automation scripts handled setup, replication, and failover protection—reducing downtime, improving resiliency, and enabling scalability on demand.
The Result
The company can now host 20× more customers on the same hardware while saving over $250,000 annually in labor and avoided hardware costs. Reliability and uptime improved significantly, and manual workloads dropped dramatically.
Key Outcomes:
-
Reduced infrastructure from 100+ servers to just 8 optimized environments
-
Improved uptime and reliability with automated failover protection
-
Enabled 20× customer growth without new hardware investments
-
Achieved $250K+ annual savings in labor and hardware costs
Savings & ROI
-
$250K in yearly cost savings
-
Substantial reduction in manual server management
-
Improved scalability to meet future demand without hardware sprawl
-
Long-term margin growth through leaner, smarter infrastructure
