Case Study: Battelle for Kids achieves cost savings and reliable, scalable hybrid cloud infrastructure with Expedient

Battelle for Kids Maintains its Focus on Moving Education Forward by Leveraging Expedient’s Advanced Solutions

Battelle for Kids, a national nonprofit that builds technology solutions to support educators and advance educational equity, faced the challenge of delivering reliable, scalable web-based services that handle large seasonal demand spikes while reducing capital expenditures. To stay focused on its mission rather than managing hardware, Battelle for Kids turned to Expedient’s hybrid cloud offering (public cloud IaaS plus physical colocation) and managed services for server, network and infrastructure support.

Expedient implemented a hybrid cloud and local 24x7x365 data center solution with managed services, a 100% SLA, and ongoing hardware and patch management. As a result, Battelle for Kids reports reduced overall technology infrastructure costs, improved speed, reliability and capacity to support clients, predictable monthly OPEX instead of CAPEX, and the ability to scale for seasonal surges — freeing its team to concentrate on advancing education.
