“I estimate that we cut our monthly operating costs from the two data centers by 50% with IPI’s cloud computing solution,” commented Weber. “Building out the capacity we needed with conventional data centers would have cost at least three times what we’re now spending, and still wouldn’t give us the flexibility to scale up on demand.” The customized “Infrastructure as a Service” solution that IPI developed for Factor TG has effectively doubled its baseline capacity, and can accommodate spikes of 10X more Web traffic and survey volume than the prior data centers. Weber noted that IPI’s approach is truly enduring. “When a customer’s traffic jumps 300% for a 24-hour period, we’re confident the system can handle it and that our costs will only increase incrementally. And that means our IT infrastructure is no longer an obstacle to growth – in fact, it will help us to grow.”
