A 11:11 Systems Case Study
Brickstream, an Atlanta-based leader in stereo-vision appliances and the maker of BehaviorIQ software with over 10,000 devices deployed worldwide, was burdened by a costly colocated physical infrastructure. With limited IT resources, recurring hardware warranties and maintenance, and the need for predictable billing, high availability, security and low-latency connectivity, the company decided to move from a CapEx-heavy, hardware-focused model to a virtual environment.
After evaluating five providers, Brickstream selected iland’s customizable VMware-based Managed Resource Cloud (10GHz) to eliminate underutilized hardware and shift to a predictable OpEx model. The migration took less than 24 hours, avoided over $50,000 in hardware CapEx, saved an additional $31,000 in colocation costs plus $5,000 in man-hours—more than $86,000 in projected IT savings over three years—while delivering greater processing power, scalability, and freeing staff to focus on core software development.
