Case Study: Prolateral Consulting achieves significant cost savings and cloud consolidation with 11:11 Systems

Moving to iland Cloud, now 11:11 Systems Cloud, results in significant cost savings

Prolateral Consulting, an SMB ISP headquartered in Luton, UK, provides hosted web applications, email/messaging security and DNS services and experienced rapid growth from 2008. That expansion exposed limits in data capacity and scalability and drove rising capital, maintenance and co‑location costs across multiple sites, so the company needed a cost‑effective way to scale without constantly buying more hardware.

Prolateral migrated its VMs to iland Cloud (now 11:11 Systems Cloud) IaaS with hands‑on support, enabling fast VM cloning, multi‑site hosting and consolidation of cloud environments. The move delivered immediate budgetary gains (ROI over 20%), then 30% savings the following year and 38% in 2012, with projected total savings approaching 50% as co‑location and hardware costs are eliminated.
